Defending the double crown, from this afternoon (6:00 pm / Eurosport), the Russian Daniel Medvedev the best in the 2021 edition and in first place in the ATP classification. It depends on himself, like Nadal and Alcaraz.

I’ll be careful with the serve” , explained Nadal, who lasted only one match in Cincinnati. Without filming, he surrendered to who won the week, the Croatian Borna Coric.

If Nadal, especially, and Medvedev represent the experience at Flushing Meadows, Carlos Alcaraz flag the alternative. He gave an important flash twelve months ago, planting himself in the quarterfinals, in his debut in the last ‘great’ of the season. left on the way Stefanos Tsitsipas, but he ended up physically broken and had to retire then Felix Auger-Aliassime.
