Russian Tennis Federation (RTF) Vice-President Alexei Selivanenko told why you shouldn’t say that Daniel Medvedev had an unsuccessful match in the semi-finals of Wimbledon, and the play of his opponent must be noted Carlos Alcaraz .
Medvedev, who received the third seed, lost in the semifinals to the world’s No. 1 racket to Spain’s Alcaraz with the score 3:6, 3:6, 3:6. The meeting lasted 1h49.
– I think Carlos showed a fantastic level of tennis today, mainly because of the phenomenal intensity and speed. We can’t say that Daniel played badly. It’s just that Alcaraz played almost every game at space speed except for a few in the third set. The Spaniard runs after those balls after which, in principle, nobody runs. Therefore, it is necessary to talk not about what Medvedev lacked, but about what Carlos gained.
Medvedev lost to one of the strongest tennis players in the world, one of the two strongest at Wimbledon. I wouldn’t say Daniel failed today. It’s just that the opponent objectively turned out to be faster, more powerful and more intense. In every game, someone is playing a little better and someone is playing a little worse. Today Carlos was better and deserved to reach the match final,” Selivanenko told .
Alcaraz will play in the Wimbledon final for the first time in his career. The 20-year-old rival tennis player will be Serbian Novak Djokovic (2nd seed).
