Athletistic / Tennis. The world’s fifth racket, Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev, spoke about the tactics chosen for the Wimbledon 2024 quarterfinal match with the leader of the ATP ranking, Italian Jannik Sinner. On July 9, Daniil defeated the world number one in five sets with a score of 6:7 (7-9), 6:4, 7:6 (7-4), 2:6, 6:3.
“Especially at Wimbledon, I try to play much closer to the baseline. Even in Halle I tried, but it’s a bit more difficult there because there are a lot of bad bounces in this tournament. I try to play like that at Wimbledon, and only then It’s a question of tactics. With Struff, when he serves at 230 km/h, standing close to the line is not the best tactic. However, in general, I really try to position myself closer to the line. With my technique, I can’t stand on the line itself, I have to have space. In the match against Sinner, many tactical aspects worked well, but I said before the start of the match that the serve would be important, because of the result of many sets. It’s on the serve that grass tennis is decided. “What we were preparing for the match with Yannick,” Medvedev quotes the Wimbledon press service.
