The Toronto Masters (Canadian Open) is entering its decisive phase. Today, August 11, the quarter-final matches will take place. In one of them, the Russian Daniil Medvedev will face the Australian Alex de Minaur. In personal meetings, the Russian has a big advantage, but the last meeting of tennis players did not end in favor of Daniel.
Medvedev was seeded at the tournament under the 2nd number, and in the ATP rankings he occupies the current third row. The Toronto Masters is Daniil’s first tournament since the end of the grass season. Recall that in mid-July the 27-year-old Russian was able to reach the semi-finals of Wimbledon, where he lost to the first racket in the world – Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz. During all this time, Medvedev was resting and gaining strength in order to better prepare for the American tour. Last week, Daniil missed the prestigious tournament in Washington, and next week Medvedev took part in the Masters in Cincinnati (USA).
Alex de Minaur is 18th in the ATP rankings. However, it is not his best result on the circuit. In the summer of 2021, the Australian was the 15th racket in the world. Now because of Minaura’s 24 years 7 singles titles. This season, Alex won the Acapulco tournament.
At the Toronto Masters, Medvedev has already completed two rounds, in each of which Daniil beat the representatives of Italy. In the second round, the Russian faced Matteo Arnaldi (6:2, 7:5), and yesterday he broke the resistance of the rising star of the Italian national team – Lorenzo Musetti (6:4, 6:4) .
As for de Minaura, he has already created two sensations in the current tournament. In the first round, the Australian dominated the Briton Cameron Norrie (7:5, 6:4), which is the 13th racket in the world, and in the 1/8 finals – the American Taylor Fritz (7:6, 4 :6, 6:1), representative of the top 10. Obviously, de Minaur is in great shape.
As for personal meetings, Medvedev leads them with the score 4:1. From 2018 to 2022, Daniil has beaten the Aussie four times. Once – in the homeland of de Minaura in Sydney, when the Russian won his first title on the ATP Tour. But the last meeting of tennis players ended in favor of Alex. It took place at the Paris Masters last fall. All fights between Medvedev and de Minaur took place exclusively on hard courts.
