    Russian star Daniil Medvedev beat America's Marcos Giron in the opening round at the Australian Open on Monday. The former raced to a 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 win to proceed to the second round in Melbourne. Medvedev is raring to go the extra mile this time, having finished as the Australian Open runner-up in 2021 and 2022. He will next take on John Millman.

    Key stats of the match

    Medvedev won a total of 91 points, while Giron finished with 40 less than the former. The Russian struck 29 winners compared to Giron's seven. Medvedev fired as many as nine aces in the match, with Giron settling with one. The former recorded a win percentage of 78 and 59 on his first and second serve, respectively. Medvedev registered four double faults.

    A look at the head-to-head record

    Medvedev now enjoys a perfect 2-0 record in her WTA head-to-head encounters against Giron. The duo first met in the Cincinnati Masters in 2022, with the former winning in straight sets. Notably, Medvedev lost in quarter-finals of the tournament to Roberto Bautista Agut. It is worth noting that Medvedev is yet to drop a set against Giron on the ATP tour.
