The Muscovite, number one in the world in 2022 and owner of 20 titles, never imagined that his debut in this edition of the Australian Open would require so much effort.
On the other hand, the Thai Kasidit Samrej (418th), who reached the main draw thanks to an invitation granted to him by the organization when he won the “AO Asia-Pacific Wildcard Play-off”, threw himself into the competition with a naturalness that put the last finalist of the oceanic contest.
In a crucial passage of the match, when the 23-year-old was close to going two sets ahead, specifically at the moment of 5-3 (30-15) in the third, Medvedev exploded with fury at the top of the court.

Minutes later, while the athletes rested, the tournament organization quickly solved the problem so that conditions were once again optimal inside the Rod Laver Arena.
