Gilles Cervara, coach of tennis player Daniil Medvedev said the Russian “shot himself in the foot” when he lost a match on his serve early in the third set in the ATP Finals semi-final against Italian Jannik Sinner.
The meeting took place on November 18. Medvedev lost to Sinner with a score of 3:6, 7:6 (7:4), 1:6.
— It was a very intense match. Yannick has been in stunning form in recent months, one of the three or four best players in the world. In the first set, Daniil had a bad service game, when he gave it away with 40:0. With that, he gave Sinner a set. When you lose a match like that, you shoot yourself in the foot.
At the same time, Medvedev was playing good tennis. In the second set, Danya was confident in his game and took it seriously – I was satisfied with the level of his game. But I didn’t expect him to lose the third set so easily. When you lose your serve immediately after tying the set, you lose your momentum. He shot himself in the foot again. The reason may be physical, and what’s more, he’s lost his mind a little. But it’s the little details that make the difference in matches against the best players in the world,” Cervara said at the Championship.
Medvedev finished the 2023 season in third place in the ATP rankings; During the season, the 27-year-old Russian won five titles.
