(Reuters) - If there is one player who simply thrives on hardcourts, it is Daniil Medvedev and 2024 promises to be an eventful year for the world number three, who will hope he can overcome the final hurdle at the Australian Open at long last.

Medvedev reached the final at Melbourne Park in 2021 and 2022 but fell to two of the 'Big Three', first losing in straight sets to Novak Djokovic before Rafa Nadal overcame overwhelming odds and triumphed from two sets down.
