Daniil Medvedev might skip the video-game celebration if he wins a second Slam title in Australia

Associated Press  

MELBOURNE, Australia — Daniil Medvedev’s “Dead Fish” celebration at the end of the 2021 U.S. Open final stands out as among the most unusual and unexpected reactions to a major tennis championship. His slow flop to the blue court in Arthur Ashe Stadium after ending Novak Djokovic’s bid for a calendar-year Grand Slam was a nod to the FIFA soccer video game, and Medvedev himself declared it “legendary.” So what does Medvedev have planned if he can manage to claim a second major trophy — perhaps as soon as at the Australian Open, where he is scheduled to play his first-round match Tuesday against Kasidit Samrej, a 20-year-old wild-card entry from Thailand who is ranked outside the top 400? “For sure,” Sinner said, “he will lift some more Grand Slam trophies.” That setback made Medvedev 1-5 in major finals; he has reached the championship match in Australia in three of the past four years, including defeats against Rafael Nadal in 2022 and Djokovic in 2021. After all, Medvedev’s career bridged two sets of greatness: The Big Three of Nadal, Djokovic and Roger Federer — with 66 Grand Slam trophies among them — and the new duo at the top of men’s tennis, Alcaraz and Sinner, two guys who are barely into their early 20s but already have combined to win six majors championships, including all four in 2024.
