Ex-third racket in the world, Olympic bronze medalist Nadezhda Petrova believes that the Wimbledon men’s singles semi-final match between the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and Russian Daniel Medvedev can be an example for young tennis players.
Medvedev lost in the semifinals to the world’s leading racket with the score 3:6, 3:6, 3:6.
“He played superbly from start to finish. 71% he hit the first serve, and Daniil – 59%. To increase this percentage, there would be more points earned. And how well Carlos played on Medvedev’s second serve! He just walked into the court and actively attacked the reception. A great game, a great example for young people how to play and how to play the game, how to play with integrity. Just awesome!
Naturally, it’s a bit of a shame for Danya that she couldn’t show her best tennis. But to be honest, Carlos just didn’t give it to him. We are now waiting for a very interesting ending: a young tennis player against, perhaps, the most experienced player on the circuit today – Alcaraz against Djokovic, Petrova told Gazeta.Ru.
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).
