An unidentified Medvedev said goodbye to the round of 16 against Cilic

previously unknown Marin Cilic, Daniel Medvedev joined the Greeks Stefanos Tsitsipas as another popular eliminated in round 16 of Roland Garros. The Russian, who was not identified from start to finish, admitted one of his worst defeats in recent years against Cilic, who actually showed a massive version of his repertoire, benefiting, yes, from the little resistance Medvedev offered: 6- 2, 6-3 and 6-2 in just 1h.45 ‘of play.

Of the top eight tennis players in the world rankings, only Medvedev, world number 2, and Tsitsipas (4th) will miss the Roland Garros quarterfinals. A few hours before, the young Dane Holger Rune19 years old and 40th in the ranking, gave the bell when they beat Greek 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 and 6-4.

Novak Djokovic (1st)-Rafael Nadal (5th), alexander zverev (3rd)-Carlos Alcaraz (6th), Casper Ruud (5th)-Holger Rune (40º) at Andrew Rublev (7th)-Marin Cilic (23rd) will be the quarterfinal clashes of Grand Slam Parisian in clay.

With no bite in his punches or sparkle or speed in his moves, Medvedev became an easy victim for Cilic, one of those tennis players capable of beating anyone if he had a good day, as happened.

For the Russian, clay is the surface on which it is most difficult for him to perform at a high level, especially this year when he appeared in Paris with only one against the clay, defeated against Richard Gasquet sa Geneva. There he reappeared after a two -month break after going through the operating room to operate for a hernia.

Given this bit of shooting, Medvedev’s impressive performance in his first three games was a surprise, approved by the flying colors and won without giving up a set against Facundo Bagnis, Laslo Djere Y Myomir Kecmanovic. However, Cilic’s trial completely failed him. Daniil defeated Marin in their previous three encounters, but lost the first game on clay.

The 33-year-old Croatian equals his best result at Roland Garros, the quarters he reached in 2017 and 2018. Cilic, a former world number 3, has had better results in other Grand Slam tournaments: a title to US Open (2014) and two more ‘big’ finals were played, both defeated against Roger Federersa Wimbledon (2017) and the Australian Open (2018).
