On the 14th local time, Medvedev, the former world No. 1 brother who beat the bad net, refused to be upset after a five-set battle, and finally reversed the Thai dark horse Samregui, ranked 418th in the ATP world, 6:2, 4:6, 3:6, 6:1, 6:2. At this point, Russia's fifth seed stumbled into the men's singles round of the 2025 Australian Open.
Former world brother Dmitry Medvedev
"To be honest, I couldn't hit the ball in the second and third sets, I didn't have the power or anything, I didn't know what to do." Facing the third Thai wild card opponent to compete in the Grand Slam men's singles event in the open era, Medvedev, who has entered the Australian Open finals three times, arrived at Melbourne Park after the birth of his second child, and his state of presence fluctuated, especially Samregi's changing style of play to catch up with two sets in a row, and he was forced to lose control of his emotions.
The struggling Medvedev recovered in time when there was no way back, suddenly regained his touch and form to chase two sets in one go, avoiding the nightmare of early exit, and did not forget to laugh at himself after the match: "I know that when I play more tennis, I will perform better." So I thought, 'Why only for one and a half hours?' It will take me at least 3 hours to get more control of my shots. ”
