The world number two Daniil Medvedev on Tuesday dominated Henri Laaksonen in the opening round encounter of Australian Open 2022 at Rod Laver Arena.
The Russian overwhelmed Switzerland`s Laaksonen, 6-1, 6-4, 7-6(3) in a one-hour, 54-minute match. Playing in his first major since his US Open triumph, Medvedev dropped serve in the opening game, then surrendered little else over the course of the match.
