Athletistic/Tennis. Russian Tennis Federation President Shamil Tarpishchev expressed the opinion that Daniil Medvedev could have won the US Open 2024 if he had not met the world’s number one racket, Italian Jannik Sinner, in the quarterfinals. In this match, Medvedev lost with a score of 2:6, 6:1, 1:6, 4:6.

“If Medvedev had not hit Sinner, he would have won the tournament. In his best form, he has no obvious competitors other than Alcaraz and Sinner. Zverev can also compete, but Daniil plays successfully against him. There are still growing players like Fritz and Paul who could cause problems. When Medvedev loses to someone from the top 20, it is seen as a failure, even if he is among the top three in the world in terms of quality of play, especially in serving and receiving.

Daniil showed his level at the US Open, beating those he needed. This year, the tournament coverage is quite slow and there were a lot of long rallies. Sinner wins thanks to his excellent technique, he consistently scores points from the opponent’s first and second serve. However, it will be easier to play against him on faster courts, RIA Novosti quotes Tarpishchev as saying.
