Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev has made a good start at the US Open, despite his Serbian opponent Dusan Lajovic causing a lot of trouble in the first round of the tournament, former world number three Nadezhda Petrova said.
In the first round of the US Open, Medvedev defeated Lajovic – 6:3, 3:6, 6:3, 6:1.
— I think that Daniil has long forgotten his defeats at the Masters, he himself understands why everything happened this way and is now absolutely ready to play in New York. I am sure that he strives for a good result, will strive for it and will do everything possible. In the first match, Dani had a very difficult opponent – a very experienced Serb, a tenacious and capable athlete. The first two sets were very interesting, there were a lot of long rallies, and in the end Danya, who was at a higher level than his opponent, finished the match with more or less confidence in his favor.
“I think this is a good start for him: it’s good that there was a fight here, that the opponent is hanging on and creating a lot of inconvenience. Danya has experienced this and with each round, I think, he will improve his game and gain confidence. Perhaps the defeats at the Masters will play in his favor, and he will be fresher than other tennis players in the second week,” Petrova told Soviet Sport.
In the second round, Medvedev will face Hungarian Fabian Marozan.
