Soviet and Russian tennis player, winner of two Grand Slam tournaments in mixed doubles Andrei Olkhovsky considers participation in the Wimbledon semifinals a good result for the Russian Daniel Medvedev.
Medvedev in the semifinals lost to the first racket in the world Spaniard Carlos Alcaras with the score 3:6, 3:6, 3:6.
– First of all, we have to pay tribute to Medvedev’s result in the tournament. I think the semi-final at Wimbledon is a great achievement. He reached this milestone for the first time in his career, which says a lot. The reasons for Alcaraz’s defeat are clear: Medvedev plays too passively on the grass. Alcaraz is very comfortable with this kind of tennis, he knew how to use all his best qualities. The struggle in the first and second sets was before the break on Dani’s serve. In the third, he tried to catch up and took several runs from the Spaniard, but immediately gave away several plays in a row on his own. With such a game, reaching the semi-finals on grass is a great result! If he wants to progress on this surface, he has to change his style of play a bit, Olkhovsky told the Championship.
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).
