Athletistic/Tennis. US Open 2021 champion and world number five, Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev, compared Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz to the representatives of the “Big Three”, which include Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

“I played with the Big Three when they were already over 30. Each of them has their own style of play and it is difficult to compare them to each other. Federer played on the baseline, he had great technique and often came to the net. Novak also plays on the line, but his game is completely different. He defends well and the ball bounces off him, like in paintball – he comes back very quickly. Rafa is completely different. He can stand 10 meters from the baseline, but still run towards any ball. The fact that he is left-handed makes him unique. Carlos has his own style of play and I don’t think he has anything from them,” Medvedev said at a press conference.

In seven personal meetings with Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev has won two and lost five. They have played three matches at Wimbledon: Medvedev won in 2021 and Alcaraz won in 2023 and 2024.
