Daniil Medvedev on Sunday admitted he would rather be playing at the mixed teams United Cup than the Adelaide International, but the Russian intends to make the most of the season-opening event.
"We would definitely be good favourites. But it is what it is, and I'm happy to be here in Adelaide playing in this tournament. "Hopefully, I can play the individual events. I play what I can play, so here I can play Adelaide, and I'm really happy about it. I want to show my best tennis."Medvedev, a finalist at the last two Australian Opens, will start against Italian Lorenzo Sonego.
"I feel like everybody is a little bit nervous, and that's normal. This feeling of the first tournament of the year is really special," he said.Since defeating Djokovic for the 2021 US Open title, Medvedev has been beaten three times by the Serb, who is back in Australia after being deported a year ago for trying to enter without a Covid vaccination exemption.
