American John McEnroe, a seven-time Grand Slam champion and former world number one, spoke about the Russian tennis player’s chances Daniel Medvedev to win the US Open.
The Russian failed to overcome the second round obstacle at the tournaments in Montreal and Cincinnati (USA).
— You can definitely expect some surprises. I think there are a few guys who could potentially step up. Alexander Zverev is one of them, obviously. Whether he can do that remains to be seen. Medvedev has lost two straight matches on hard courts in Montreal and Cincinnati. Who would believe that? Now he can catch up. Some American players seem to be getting closer [к лидерам]”Maybe one of them will be able to step up and get a serious result,” McEnroe was quoted as saying by Tennis World USA.
Medvedev will face Serbian Dusan Lajovic in his first match at the US Open. In 2021, the Russian tennis player won the US Open by beating Novak Djokovic in the final.
