Medvedev now looks better in terms of playing quality than when he was the world’s first racket, Tarpischev believes

Russian tennis player Daniel Medvedev in the worst case, he plays better, but he lacks stability, there are nuances and peculiarities in his champion psychology, the president of the Russian Tennis Federation told RG Shamil Tarpishchev .

I think he will be in the top five. Djokovic is now out of everyone’s reach. But in general, the competition has become fiercer. Seven or eight players are nearly even. It is hardly worth guessing that Medvedev will rise higher this year. Although in terms of the quality of the game, in terms of improving technical and tactical data, Danya still looks better than when he was the leader of the rating. But for now, he is playing unevenly. The nervous system is not formed due to absence due to injury and surgery, all that hassle. I think when everything gets back to normal, he will slowly come into the top five.

Medvedev has a good mobilization of the nervous system. In other words, in the worst situation, he plays better. For example, risks and blows. However, Daniel lacks stability. He is psychologically quite vulnerable. This is why I speak of the untrained nervous system. He plays very well, and then there is a decline and a series of errors. Yes, Medvedev has the psychology of the champion. But there are nuances and features. They must be known and taken into account. And mentally, everything is fine with him, – said Tarpishchev.

In the updated rankings of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) on Monday, Medvedev climbed to sixth place. He beat his compatriot Andrei Rublev. On March 4, Medvedev defeated Rublev in the final of the ATP 500 tournament in Dubai, and earlier he knocked out the world’s first racket of Serbian Novak Djokovic from the fight.
