Daniil Medvedev yesterday renewed his call for the Australian Open to begin its night sessions earlier, after the Russian endured a string of recent post-midnight finishes at Melbourne Park, but admitted there was little chance of it happening.

Medvedev complained that late finishes at the first Grand Slam of the year, which begins on 18 January in Melbourne, were unfair to players, spectators and officials and benefited nobody.

But he conceded that the demands of television broadcasters came first so change would not happen.
