Russian tennis player Natalya Vikhlyantseva assessed the chances of a compatriot Daniel Medvedev in the US Open final.
World number three Medvedev will face Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open semi-finals.
– Of course, I want to believe that Medvedev is capable of beating Alcaraz and reaching the US Open final, then beating Novak Djokovic. After the final in Cincinnati, where there was only a stunning three-set match, everyone is now waiting for Alcaraz and Djokovic to play in the final. Before the tournament started, everyone was already making popcorn, gathering friends and waiting for Sunday to see such a final.
Now Medvedev is in good shape, he beat Andrei Rublev in the most difficult match and in very hot weather. For some reason, it seems to me that the final will be Alcaras – Djokovic, but we will, of course, support Daniil, – Vikhlyantseva told Metaratings.ru.
Alcaraz and Medvedev have faced each other three times, including two in 2023. In March, the Spaniard won the Masters final in Indian Wells with a score of 2-0, in July, in the Wimbledon semi-finals, he won again won with a clean sheet – 3-0. At Wimbledon 2021, Medvedev was stronger than Alcaraz in three matches.
