MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Russian Daniil Medvedev feels Wednesday's win over compatriot Andrey Rublev was his best showing at the 2021 Australian Open and the fourth seed was particularly pleased with how he managed to tire out his opponent who seemingly runs on "battery".

ATP Finals champion Medvedev defeated friend Rublev 7-5 6-3 6-2 in sweltering conditions during the afternoon on Rod Laver Arena, for his fourth straight-sets win against the seventh seed in as many career matches on the ATP Tour.
