2024 Olympic Games. Tennis. 1/8 finals. Auger-Aliassime-Medvedev. Live
The Olympic tennis tournament in Paris, which takes place on the Roland Garros courts, is entering its decisive phase. On Wednesday, July 31, the men’s singles matches will be played in the 1/8 finals. In one of them, our Daniil Medvedev will fight with the 23-year-old Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime. There is one peculiarity in the confrontation between tennis players: in all the matches previously played between them, only the Russian has won.
Of course, this does not mean at all that Daniil will get a ticket to the quarterfinals today. However, statistics are a stubborn thing and it would also be a mistake not to pay attention to them. So, Medvedev and Auger-Aliassime had six meetings on the ATP tour and one match in the ATP Cup at the national team level. However, all previous head-to-head meetings between tennis players took place exclusively on hard courts. Today, Daniil and Felix will face each other on clay for the first time and also for the first time in an Olympic tournament.
Meanwhile, Auger-Aliassime is one of Medvedev’s most convenient opponents. Daniil leads personal meetings with a score of 7:0. Their last duel took place this season at the Australian Open, in the 3rd round. The Russian confidently defeated Felix in three sets – 6:3, 6:4, 6:3. It is worth noting that Medvedev won 5 of his 7 victories without conceding a goal. One can only imagine the motivation with which the Canadian will play today. Even with a double: to beat Medvedev for the first time and reach the quarterfinals of the Olympics. Of course, Daniil will have his own plans for the match: to reach the next round of the tournament.
In the first rounds of the Olympic tournament, the Russian showed a very confident game. First, Medvedev defeated the Australian Hijikata, giving his opponent only three games (6:2, 6:1), and yesterday he left no chance to the Austrian Ofner – 6:2, 6:2. As for Auger-Aliassime, in the first round he defeated the American Giron (6:1, 6:4) in a small fight, and in the second he simply did not notice the German Marterer – 6:0, 6:1.
