Felix had 4 aces and 8 double faults, winning 67% of the points on first and 54% on second serve. Return statistic: 52%/55%, winners/unforced errors statistic 40/56. Before the Australian Open, Felix played only one match at the 2024 tournament in Auckland, losing in two games to Altmaier.

Daniil defeated Emil Ruusuvuori from Finland in the second round of AO-2024. The match against the Finn lasted four hours and 21 minutes. Daniil was 0:2 down in sets but broke Emil's resistance and won in five games with a stool in the deciding set.

If Medvedev wants to fight for the title in Melbourne, the Russian will have to start saving his energy. In the last round, Medvedev played a 5-set match that took a lot of energy; a few more sparring sessions like that, and Daniil could forget about the title and the competition with Alcaraz and Djokovic. Auger-Aliassime is a comfortable opponent for Medvedev. Daniil has won 100% of his matches against the Canadian, including majors and doubles in 2023.
