Three-time Australian Open finalist Daniil Medvedev could be fined up to $80,000 after smashing a net camera in his lucky centre-court escape against unheralded Thai opponent Kasidit Samrej.
But last year’s runner-up eventually found his groove across five sets, winning 6-2, 4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, and spending valuable time on court in the process. The fifth seed said he was happy to be pushed around for more than three hours in the warm conditions on Rod Laver Arena.
