On January 30, the final match in men's singles at the Australian Open will take place, in which Spaniard Rafael Nadal will play with Russian Daniil Medvedev. The forecast for this match is given by Sofia Tartakova.
Daniil Medvedev was considered the main favorite of the Australian Open even before the start of the competition, when it became known that Novak Djokovic would not participate, and remains so on the eve of the final match at the bookmakers.
The stories of face-to-face confrontations between Nadal and Medvedev are impressive. I still remember the first final of the Russian at the Grand Slam tournaments – it was at the US Open almost two years ago. Then Danya managed to even the score after the first two sets lost, but still the match was lost to them. It was a useful experience for Medvedev, who took the trophy in New York last year. Now he is already a full-fledged wise player, despite the crazies that Daniil sometimes shows in Melbourne.
Medvedev's breakdowns occur in virtually every match, but he only needs it, because Daniil is a master of haight, bathing in it. The emotional history that exists at this tournament in Melbourne shows that, no matter how Medvedev plays, he is able to pull out the most difficult matches. Although Nadal is able to do the same. But still, the physical condition of the aged Spaniard remains in question after a number of difficult matches.
Sofia Tartakova sees the victory of Daniil Medvedev, although she understands that the duel will be difficult for the Russian. In each game there will be a stubborn struggle with protracted draws, and the match will drag on for four sets, and maybe even more.
