Australian Open > Medvedev was still scared against the Thai Samrej (418th): “If he plays like that in the future, he will have a good life with money and women”

Led two sets to one and a break point saved in the 4th^ththe Russian did not have an easy first round against the Thai Samrej, ranked 418^th qualified after a special competition for Asian countries to obtain an invitation.

On the court after qualifying in 5 sets (6−2, 4–6, 3–6, 6–1, 6–2), Daniil paid tribute to him: “The truth is I couldn’t do anything in 2^th et 3^th set, it was precise and powerful. I told myself that I had to let the storm pass. I wish him to continue playing at this level because it means he will have a good life with money and women. Afterwards I’m happy to have gotten out of it. I think that last year I would not have won this type of duel because I would surely have come out of the match”
