Daniil Medvedev has revealed that he is still over his loss to Rafael Nadal in the 2022 Australian Open final, where the Spaniard triumphed in a five-set thriller to claim his record 21st Grand Slam.

Medvedev, who also reached the summit clash of the Melbourne Slam for the third consecutive year in 2024, told the media during the ongoing Dubai Tennis Championships:

"I don't know, because for sure I'm still disappointed because that one was close. Closer than the Jannik match. Also, mentally with the crowd and this and that. Somewhere in the match I really felt like I'm there, not that I have to win it, but I was really close in my mind."

"Not sure it's even a lesson. I would prefer not to have this lesson. But in life not everything goes as you prefer. So this happened. I have to go on from it. I would say I hope that it was a lesson and I can take anything from it. Even if not, I just have to forget it and go," he added.
