What they say

“We will have to run a lot, I hope to be physically ready because it will be a battle. I won in Australia, he won at Wimbledon also in 5 sets in a particular match, because on grass the rallies last a short time. Now we face each other on hard court, he has already won this tournament: by now we know each other very well… In the eighth finals we both won in 3 sets, we hope to recover and energy to play a good match and we’ll see how it goes”, Sinner’s words after the match with Paul.

“I will try to think more about Wimbledon than the Australian Open,” echoes Medvedev. “The matches against Jannik are very tough, we know everything about the other.
