Medvedev on defeat in the match with Thien: “It’s a shame to end the Australian Open this way”
Russian first racket Daniil Medvedev said that he was disappointed with the results of his performance at the Australian Open, and also praised his fourth-round opponent, American Lerner Thien.
In the fourth round of the Australian Open, Medvedev was defeated by Thien with a score of 4:6, 0:6, 3:6. The meeting lasted 1 hour 42 minutes. The 29-year-old Russian lost a set without winning a game for the first time in his career at a Grand Slam tournament. Medvedev lost to Thien in Australia for the second year in a row.
– I need to try not to focus on this particular match – it was unsuccessful because my opponent outplayed me, and this, of course, is unpleasant. But I have to take a broader view and continue to work the same way as in the last tournaments. If I can play good tennis and beat the opponents I’ve beaten before, I can get to where I want to go. Of course, it’s a shame to end a Grand Slam tournament like this, especially when I felt so good and confident, but it is what it is.
Tien played great, very aggressive. Even when I made good shots, he responded even better. I found almost no solutions on the court – that rarely happens to me, and I haven’t felt like that very often in my career.
But, again, this happens. He played an incredible match, literally everything worked for him. Something similar happened to me a couple of times too, and at such moments you even begin to sympathize with your opponent a little: they say, now I can throw a tweener with my eyes closed – and it will still fly. This happens. “I probably should have done something a little better to try to break his rhythm,” the tournament press service quotes Medvedev as saying.
Thien will play against world number three Alexander Zverev from Germany in the next round of the tournament.

According to media reports, Serena Williams is considering a sensational return to professional tennis after a four-year break.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion retired in 2022, avoiding the word “retirement” and saying only that he was “moving away” from the sport.
Her last match took place at the 2022 US Open, where she lost to Ajla Tomljanovic. Williams’ re-entry into the anti-doping pool last December fueled rumors of a comeback. Although Serena later denied her return, The Telegraph’s sources claim that the tennis community is not buying it and believes Serena can still compete at WTA level.

Williams will be eligible to return to Roland Garros this summer, including mixed doubles, with possible options at Wimbledon or the US Open. Her older sister Venus continues to perform at the age of 45, increasing interest in Serena’s possible return.
Former champion Jim Courier is confident that Williams will definitely be back on the field if injuries are not a problem; The only question is the format and tournament.
