“Alcaraz has more skills than Medvedev. With Djokovic, Daniil would have more chances” – Yanchuk

Russia’s top coach Viktor Yanchuk told that the Russian Daniel Medvedev he lacked the skill to defeat the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals of Wimbledon.

On Friday, Medvedev lost to Alcaraz in four sets with a score of 7:6 (7:1), 3:6, 4:6, 4:6.

“It’s just that Alcaraz is a very difficult opponent. Well, just in case, he is superior to Medvedev in terms of rating. And in general, faster and younger. More skill. Most importantly, Carlos plays all over the court. Resists rallies, plays well from the start. Alcaraz can make risky interceptions. In addition, Carlos plays perfectly in contrast, sometimes hitting the corners, sometimes shortening it. Daniil lost a lot of points on that. He is just superior, that’s all. Daniel did everything he could. He played to his strengths. There would be more chances with Djokovic because Novak is more accessible and reachable for him. Daniel did his best.

– Medvedev has already played 11 Grand Slam tournaments. Do you think we will see him again with a trophy?

— There are still chances for that, maybe in two or three years we will see. There are still four of them. This semi-final says that he had an opportunity. Not now, but next time. He is playing at a good level. Medvedev is fifth in the ranking, not first of course, and not second. Depending on his chances, he is allowed to play in the semi-final, and then it depends on his luck. Let’s hope that he still has everything ahead of him, “Yanchuk told .

Medvedev, 28, is ranked number five in the ATP rankings. Alcaraz, 21, is the world’s third-ranked racquet.

The second finalist of Wimbledon 2024 will be decided in the match between Lorenzo Musetti (Italy, 25 years old) and Novak Djokovic (Serbia, 2 years old), which will take place on Friday.
