The match between Medvedev and Alcaraz will take place on Friday.
– The match will certainly be interesting. But Alcaraz is defending his title, he was last year’s champion. In New York, he is playing as well or better than Daniil, so Alcaraz is the undisputed favorite for this game. And how it will turn out in practice, we’ll see. Of course, I would like a good intriguing game, so that there are not three sets in one direction. I hope Daniil fights and we all enjoy the match,” Kafelnikov said as quoted by Gazeta.ru.
