It is fitting that Daniil Medvedev has become the first player at this year’s Australian Open to win a match from two sets down.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Russian’s run to the 2024 final included four matches that went to five sets and a total play time of 24 hours and 17 minutes – the longest time on court at a major in the Open era.<\/p>\n

However, during his dreadful run at the Slams last year, Medvedev came back from two sets down in three matches, only to lose them in the deciding set.<\/p>\n

And after beating Hungary’s Fabian Marozsan 6-7 (5-7) 4-6 7-5 6-0 6-3 to reach the fourth round on Friday, Medvedev admitted to some nerves.<\/p>\n

“Last year, all my Grand Slam matches when I was 2-0 down, I made it to 2-2 and a break up, and then I lost,” the 11th seed said.<\/p>\n

“Here, I had a break [in the fifth] and he broke me back and I was like ‘not again’.<\/p>\n

“But I managed to stay strong and I’m happy about it.”<\/p>\n

Medvedev has now won seven of the 11 five-setters he has played at the Australian Open and has a 10-13 win-loss record in deciding sets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
