The 2002 Australian Open champion spoke about the upcoming Australian Open final between and . If you look at their results on the way to the final, Rafa has not been tested yet.
I think the match between Novak and Medvedev was a very, very high level, so I think thats good for Novak, said the Swede, who currently coaches Filip Krajinovic. I think the key shot for Rafa is the forehand down the line, because if he works Novak too much on the backhand side, its going to be tough for him.
But his forehand down the line has been working very well here. Johansson added: Rafas been very aggressive, taking the ball a little earlier than in the past. Hes been serving well. Youre surprised hes playing that well but then not because every time hes been coming back from an injury, he is very sharp.
Its going to be a phenomenal match. The match at Wimbledon last year was an epic. I think we can expect something like that again. Meanwhile, the 2015 US Open champion commented on the upcoming final between Nadal and Djokovic: They dominated.
Lets say it was a dream final for everyone. They are still the strongest, the old generation is much stronger than the young one. The young players did a good job. ALSO READ: Djokovic would beat Roger Federer in Australian Open final – Evert
