I have been observing the work that your trainer, Gilles Cervara, do with Daniil Medvedev, a deaf, quiet work, which has long since begun to produce great results. The confidence level of the Russian player is very high. It may look scruffy, but that façade is deceiving. He has a great physical quality that is really valuable for tennis: he is light, fast, elastic and with good balance. All this helps him to solve offensive and defensive situations.
He has a glove on the backhand and he can do whatever he wants with that punch. The right would be his least consistent shot, but in sweet moments like the one he is going through now, he is able to use it successfully from anywhere on the court. It has great service. He makes an accurate interpretation of the matches and has a huge competitive appetite. He is a gamer and a winner. Enjoy the competition.
Sometimes he loses his temper and has outings like yesterday with the chair umpire. I think he was right in his complaint, because Stefanos Tsitsipas he usually maintains constant communication with his father and coach. Another thing is that Daniil lost his form in his vehement protest. Those. Sometimes he also gets into it with the public or with his own coach, but his game is rarely affected by these behaviors. That winning DNA to which I have already referred has made him improve his level a lot.
Being a really complicated opponent for Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard made two impeccable first sets against Matteo Berrettini, doing what he has accustomed us to: very heavy right hands on his opponent’s backhand, something similar to what he puts into practice in his encounters with Roger Federer. Also, I hit a lot of backhands near the baseline.
After so much time without competing, it is logical that it is difficult for him to maintain that level beyond two sets, although he later has arguments and experience to redirect situations. With Medvedev, any concession can be lethal. The Russian can be fighting at the highest level for four hours and closes well on all sides. He has qualities to counter Nadal’s pattern of play. Thus, his usual start of play is complicated. You will need variables, which always carry a margin of risk.
