Daniil Medvedev was near the Australian Open Championship 2022 after winning the first two sets against Rafael Nadal. However, the No. 2 seed lost all 3 sets, thereby missing an appointment with the second Grand Slam title in his career.
Sharing after the dramatic final lasting nearly 6 hours, Medvedev admitted that Nadal deserves to win. The No. 2 player in the world also has witty revelations about his wife.
“I want to congratulate Rafa for what he does is wonderful. After the match, I asked him if he was tired (laugh).
Nadal has shown the top tennis. He really raised his level after losing 2 sets. Nadal did unbelievable things and once again congratulated him!
I would like to thank 2 coaches. They were with me all week and shared this difficult moment with me.
Usually my wife will accompany me in every tournament. I think maybe the TV at home is broken right now (laugh)”, Dannil Medvedev said.
Failure to Nadal also made Daniil Medvedev miss the opportunity to overcome Novak Djokovic to rise to the No. 1 position on the ATP rankings. This is also the second consecutive defeat of a 25 -year -old tennis player in the expanded Australian final. At Australian Open 2021, Medvedev lost to Novak Djokovic after only 3 competitions (with the score 5-7, 2-6 and 2-6).
