Famous Russian tennis player and coach Andrey Chesnokov considers the result of the final match in Indian Wells, in which Daniel Medvedev lost Carlos Alcaraz .
On Sunday, Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaras defeated Medvedev in the Indian Wells tournament final with the score 6:3, 6:2. The Russian has lost for the first time in the last 20 matches.
– I didn’t think Medvedev was like the final in Indian Wells as a favorite. Even before the match, I said that it would be extremely difficult for Daniil, because Alcaraz played this tournament with a lot of confidence. I had doubts about the victory of our tennis player. In Indian Wells, Carlos had the strongest games of his career. There were big doubts about Daniil’s victory in this final. Because Alcaraz didn’t play so well at the US Open.
Yes, according to the ranking, Alcaraz is now the best tennis player in the world, surpassing Djokovic. But if Novak had not been punished, he would have been the first in the world at least until Roland Garros. Lately, the best tennis players in the world have been playing in waves. In Australia, Djokovic was on the wave and absolutely first in the match. Then it all turned to Medvedev – he won three finals in a row, now he lost the fourth. It is impossible to play matches every day, and Daniil still has to work. Medvedev suffers from volleys, it was obvious in the match with Alcaraz, where he was wrong. It seems that Daniil was emotionally drained as it is impossible to play in tournaments every day. Therefore, Alcaraz deservedly won.
I would like to note that last year Djokovic also didn’t play in Miami or Indian Wells. I think in those tournaments he reached at least the semi-finals and would have kept the top spot in the standings. And it turns out America didn’t let Novak down. After all, the infection Djokovic carries is dangerous. If he came to the United States, half the population would die from the coronavirus. There’s more politics here than tennis. And Alcaraz won this game positionally and tactically, Medvedev just didn’t have time to get to the ball. But I want to say that the ending was uninteresting. There were no such performances as in the match with Zverev, in this match there was a mini-final. Daniil was already playing worse after the match with Alexander, it was already evident in the semi-finals with Tiafoe, Chesnokov told Metaratings.ru.
In the updated ranking of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) on Monday, Medvedev rose from sixth to fifth position, and in the race for the championship, the Russian athlete fell from third to second place. .
