Alexander Zverev is a more convenient adversary for Daniel Medvedev as Carlos Alcaraz, said the 2012 Olympic bronze medalist and former world number three Nadezhda Petrova .
Medvedev beat Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz in five sets in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, and Germany’s Zverev beat Spaniard Alcaraz.
– Of course, this option is better for Medvedev than a meeting with Alcaraz. Daniil will be the favorite of the confrontation, he leads the personal meetings: these rivals played a lot of matches last season, and Medvedev has a big advantage there. As a result, psychologically, Daniel will be more confident in his victory. Even though Zverev is now playing good tennis and has returned to his excellent form, he will still be easier to fight than Alcaraz. Danya will be able to play her favorite tennis and stick to her usual tactics. Zverev will simply be a more convenient opponent for Medvedev in the semifinals, Petrova told Gazeta.Ru.
The Australian Open semi-final between Medvedev and Zverev will take place on January 26.
