Russia’s tennis star
Daniil Medvedev has questioned the
conditions in the ongoing
Australian Open 2024. The first Grand Slam of the
year is moving towards its conclusion as only eight players are remaining in each
of the men’s and women’s singles categories.
Medvedev has been recently quoted in a report where he
questioned the playing conditions in the mega-event as according to him, either
the balls or the court has something to do with the serve of the current world
number one Serbia’s Novak Djokovic.
"I see Novak I think got a lot broken also. It's maybe
something with the balls or the court," he said. "The balls are very
strange. What happens now when the balls are new, they are extremely fast. So
then the court seems fast because they are like extremely fast.
“It's bullets. If you touch it a little bit too much, it
goes in the fence. Then if you serve well a couple of games, then maybe in
three, four games they become older.”
The current world
number three is one of the eight players remaining in the men’s singles
category as he booked his place in the semifinal of the mega-event after
beating Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz in the quarterfinal with a score of 7-6, 2-6,
6-3, 5-7, 6-4. He will next go up against Germany’s Alexander Zverev to fight for
a place in the final.
