Daniel Medvedev has a chance to win against the Serbian Novak Djokovic in the US Open final, but a lot will depend on the Russian’s nervous system, the president of the Russian Tennis Federation told . Shamil Tarpishchev .
In the semifinals, Medvedev defeated Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz with a score of 7:6 (7:3), 6:1, 3:6, 6:3. The Russian will play against Djokovic in the deciding match. This match will be the 15th between the tennis players. Medvedev currently has five head-to-head victories, while 23-time Grand Slam winner Djokovic has nine. The Russian beat the Serbian in straight sets in the 2021 US Open final.
— Medvedev played very competently against Alcaraz from a tactical point of view. The first set was difficult for Dani; his opponent had more opportunities. After winning the tiebreaker, I played the second game very well, winning five sets 40:0. The second set was decisive for the final result. If we take all the statistics, Alcaraz has run more kilometers than Medvedev. This suggests that Dani had an advantage in tactical options.
— Is this one of his best matches?
– This can be said in the confrontation with Alcaraz – yes. The opponent is difficult, he flies well. Danya did it, well done.
— What are the chances in the final?
– An even game, but the question is recovery. It was psychologically easier for Djokovic in the last two matches. It will mainly depend on Dani’s nervous system.
— Have you seen the video of how he attacked the fans?
– It’s good. If you remember McEnroe, he did it in an even worse performance. Danya recharges, stays focused and after such a release he plays better,” Tarpishchev told .
