Russian tennis player Daniel Medvedev remembers more and more the time when he won Grand Slams and topped the ATP rankings, the president of the Russian Tennis Federation (FTR) tells Shamil Tarpishchev .
The former first racket in the world Medvedev on Sunday in the final of the tournament in Rotterdam beat Yannick Sinner 5:7, 6:2, 6:2 and won the first title of the season.
Congratulations to Daniel. The main thing is that he remembered in stable and good matches the time when he won the Grand Slam and was the first racket. That is, it continues to increase. Despite the fact that at the start of the first set he played unsuccessfully, especially on serve, he lost in a number of unusual offensive draws, in the second set he entered his usual rhythm. The second set raised no questions. The only thing that was slightly missing in the tactic of a quick attack. That is to say, he overtook him thanks to a powerful and stable play from the back line. Sinner isn’t a big fan of tearing up the game, but he tried to go to the net anyway, as he figured out he was losing on the back line. Despite a number of offensive errors, in terms of style of play, Medvedev had enough stability in the game. This suggests that the nervous system is training and reliability is appearing, which characterized him in the best of times.
– After this victory, he will return to the top ten in the standings. Maybe we can already talk about the top 5?
– I think it’s realistic for him to get into the top 5. A year ago, during this period, he didn’t receive any points due to injury. Therefore, no matter how he plays now, any result will go to the asset. It’s difficult to fight against Djokovic, it’s also difficult to enter the top three. But he can climb into the top 5 this year. In general, the Rotterdam tournament went with a big positive sign for him. Especially on a psychological level. I repeat, now it will increase,” Tarpishchev told a correspondent.
