Athletistic / Tennis President of the Russian Tennis Federation Shamil Tarpishchev, after the world’s first racket Daniil Medvedev reached the final of the tournament in Halle, Germany, said he saw a significant progression of the Russian tennis player in matches on grass.

Recall that in the semifinals the Russian defeated the 51st number in the ATP ranking, the German Oscar Otte 7:6 (7:3), 6:3.

“In reality, Danya is playing better and better on the grass. First of all, he is psychologically very stable: yesterday he played nine out of nine breaks, today five out of six. Even after losing serve in the first set, he managed to win it back immediately.

On grass, it is difficult to predict the results. The share of serve and serve reception is dominant in the game, so literally one or two points decide here. The very fact that Danya played well for himself. I liked it more that he gained enough stability to play long matches,” said Tarpischev as quoted by Championat.com.

Medvedev’s opponent in the final of the tournament will be the winner of the match between Pole Hubert Hurkach and Australian Nick Kiryos.

Recall that on June 12, Medvedev suffered a sensational defeat in the final of the tournament in the Dutch Hertogenbosch against the 205th racket in the world, local tennis player Tim van Reithoven (4:6, 1:6). It was the Dutchman’s first title at ATP level.
