the russian Daniel Medvedev27 years old and world number 3, prefers not to observe history with the Spaniards Carlos Alcaraz. .
They have to wait for the match between the Italians to finish Jannik Sinner and the serbian Novak Djokovicwhich starts at 2:30 pm at the headquarters of the All England Club.
Medvedev destroying the credibility of his victory against Alcaraz at Wimbledon 2021, when the Murcian was a boy who made his debut at the age of 18 and stepped on the grass for the first time. The Muscovite prevailed, on Track 1, not in the middle this Friday, by 6-4, 6-1 and 6-2. He won a different player compared to what he would get on the other side of the net, and he knew it very well.
It also mitigates the resounding defeat he suffered (6-3 and 6-2) this season in the Indian Wells final, on a hard court, theoretically his favorite territory. “I don’t think it’s gonna count for much here. It was a very slow track. Here the serve will be very important and there I won’t get free points”, he analyzed,
SA Medvedev He was always interested in what he could see before Alcaraz, whose development he followed closely. “It’s fun to play against someone like that Carlos. He is an incredible tennis player and he is only 20 years old. He’s doing amazing.”
The tennis player from El Palmar has a capacity that particularly attracts the attention of Medvedev. “At 17, it’s not that long ago, he’s less mature, which is normal. He’s missing more. It’s amazing, but people wonder if he’ll find a way to miss less while generating the same power. And he did so very quickly.”
It has to do with what you fear the most Alcaraz, because it does not suffer from rivals of the entity of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray, which he mentions in comparisons. “If you leave an easy ball to Alcaraz, he has a problem. The most normal thing is that he will hit you with a winning shot. With Novak, Andy or Rafa You have a feeling that you might get hit, even if twenty more will hit you later. In Carlos You might not even get that first blow, which is often brutal. I think this is the most powerful part of his tennis and what I really have to deal with,” he stressed.
