Former world number two junior Anastasia Pivovarova believes Russian Daniil’s unsuccessful streak Medvedev could have a positive impact on the tennis player’s performance at US Open 2023.
In the first round of the tournament, Medvedev will face Hungarian Attilla Balazs on August 29.
– Daniil didn’t have the best streak before the US Open. Knowing his character, this can play Daniel’s game. In the most difficult moments, he gathers, when no one hopes for his victory, his character awakens, which is difficult to resist. Now he no longer feels like a favorite, all the targets are on Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. As for the grid, the first three rounds I don’t see any serious obstacles, in the fourth it’s up to De Minor, who he lost in Toronto. This will be the first test for Daniil and, of course, it won’t get any easier with the following opponents.
Daniil should have a strong motivation to go through three rounds and gain confidence in these matches, to feel his game, which hasn’t really developed in the last tournaments. Maybe there have been some changes in Daniil’s style of play, which is why matches in previous tournaments haven’t been in his favor. It remains only to support Medvedev and watch his style of play on the courts of Flashing Meadows,” Pivovarova said as quoted by Gazeta.Ru.
The US Open begins on August 28 and will run until September 10.
