Andy Murray was not surprised Novak Djokovic won a ninth Australian Open, as the "younger guys have not shown they are particularly close".
British former world number one Murray said he watched virtually nothing of a tournament he was forced to miss after testing positive for Covid-19.
"I watched very little, I wanted to be there and it was a struggle," he said.
"I stopped following all the tennis players I follow on social media because I just really didn't want to see it."
The 33-year-old expected Medvedev to push Djokovic closer in the final, but knows only too well how hard it is to beat the world number one in a Grand Slam final.
