Chesnokov felt that in this match, Medvedev showed his confidence in almost every aspect of the game. He noted that Medvedev’s serve was much more efficient than Baez’s, which created a comfortable environment for the Russian tennis player . According to Chesnokov, the real challenge for Medvedev is Djokovic and Alcaraz, and Baez did not pose a serious threat to him.
Chesnokov also compared Sebastian Baez to Diego Schwartzman, pointing out that Baez needed four steps to reach the ball, while Medvedev needed two. Medvedev immediately took the initiative, controlled the game and dictated his pace, while Baez struggled in the first two sets.
However, in the third set Medvedev sometimes lost concentration and made more mistakes than in the previous two sets. Chesnokov noticed that when the score became 1:4 in favor of Baez in the third set, it looked like Medvedev might lose that set. But Daniil proved his perseverance and was able to end the match with a victory, highlighting that he is one of the title contenders.
Medvedev simply put too much pressure on the gas and did not allow Baes to take over,” Chesnokov concluded in an interview with the Championship correspondent.
