Athletistic / Tennis. The fourth racket in the world, Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev, shared his emotions after reaching the final of the Masters in Indian Wells (USA). In the semi-final, the Russian beat the American Tommy Paul (17th in the ATP ranking).
“Today it was very difficult. It is cool in Indian Wells in the evening and in this weather the service is bad. In the first set I lost with a score of 1:6 – and the only game that I won was on Paul’s serve. Although a lot of times, on hard, one break is enough to win the whole set. But in the first set, Tommy played amazing. I said to myself: ” Okay. If I want to win, I have to improve, find a shot that will give him problems.” And in the end, I succeeded – above all I succeeded in rendering the service. After that, an almost even fight ensued in the match. And although the third set ended with a score of 6:2 in my favor, but the matches were still very long and in general we played for a long time.
I am very happy that I managed to reach the final here again,” Medvedev said in a flash interview directly on the field.
In the final of the Masters in Indian Wells, Daniil Medvedev will face the second racket in the world, the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, for the second year in a row. In 2023, the Russian lost to him in two sets with a score of 3:6, 2:6.
