Daniil Medvedev gets by Filip Krajinovic 6-3 6-3 4-6 3-6 6-0 in the 3rd round in Melbourne on Saturday in 3 hours and 6 minutes. Medvedev will try to go further in the tournament when playing against Mackenzie Mcdonald in the 4th round.
Medvedev’s coach and wife
After winning the first 2 sets, things started to be complicated for Daniil that was also bothered by a problem with his upper left leg. Eventually, Daniil started to become extremely nervous and his coach Gilles Cervara decided to leave the stands leaving only Daniil’s wife Daria following the match. Daniil is used to redirect his anger to Gilles and probably that was a good move.
Medvedev was elated about how things unfolded. He commented:
“He said just before leaving that he’s sure I’m going to win the match. He’s going to leave me alone to be more calm. It was a good thing to do. Luckily I won.”
