Gilles Cervara, coach of the Russian tennis player Daniel Medvedev explained why the athlete in 2023 periodically experienced service issues.
Last season, the 27-year-old Russian won five singles tournaments: in Rome, Miami, Dubai, Doha and Amsterdam.
— Problems with feeds are caused by several reasons. There is a technical side – the movement, the throwing problems, which caused errors. These are fundamental things. For example, sometimes, after double mistakes, I would simply tell him: “Daniel, you didn’t push yourself forward, it’s a simple mistake. It’s the simplest things that sometimes let us down. For what? This is the other side of the problem: the mental side. Often, he made double errors under the pressure of the score, the result.
Sometimes emotions caused these mistakes. If you look back, he had big matches in the past where he also double faulted, but then he didn’t care. And this season it looked like this – after every match with a lot of double faults, he acted like he had never double faulted before, he always served perfectly, and now he started serving shit, and that got him down a little. In such moments, I would tell him: “Look, in the past you also made mistakes, but then you don’t care about them. It’s the same as a bad bounce on clay,” Cervara said at the Championship.
