It seemed at one point that Daniil Medvedev was unbeatable for Jannik Sinner. The Russian was ahead 6-0 head-to-head. Then, suddenly, everything changed. Sinner found the right countermeasures to his rival’s tennis and beat him in the last four consecutive matches. The most important and last of which is, obviously, the extraordinary comeback at the Australian Open final, in January 2024.
After reaching the quarterfinals of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Medvedev talked about his young Italian rival, analyzing how Sinner is experiencing an impressive state that makes him almost unbeatable at the moment.
“How long did it take to forget that final at the Australian Open? Well, I’d say a week or maybe even less. I was afraid that I might feel some backlash in subsequent tournaments but I got injured and now that I’m back things seem to be going well. In the final I started great but I don’t think I succumbed to the pressure, I continued to play well but he grew and managed to change the match. He played an important match and it was special for him to win,” he explained.
