Athletistic/Tennis. President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RFT) Shamil Tarpishchev expressed his impressions of Daniil Medvedev’s performance in the Masters final in Indian Wells (USA).

“In the first set, Medvedev started badly – his statistics were disappointing, especially on the return of the second serve, where he was clearly struggling. Paul demonstrated very fast tennis in this period, giving Medvedev no time to react – Daniil had to adapt to his game for a long time.

In the second set, Medvedev started to prove himself. He began to use various tactics, while Paul began to relent. Several errors and releases, however, prevented Medvedev from winning the second set with confidence. In the third set, Medvedev noticeably took the lead. Midway through the match, the initiative shifted entirely to his side. Medvedev was able to dictate his game during long rallies, which left Paul with few opportunities. That is why he deservedly won 6:2 in the deciding set,” Tarpishchev noted in a conversation with a “Championship” correspondent.

Recall that in the final Medvedev will meet Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, who defeated Jannik Sinner in the semi-final.
