Elena, three-time Grand Slam winner and 2016 Olympic doubles champion Vesnin in an interview with , she described the clash between the first racket in the world, the Russian Daniil Medvedev with the Spaniard Rafael Nadal, symbol of the change of generation in tennis.
At the start of the US Open, Medvedev beat American Stefan Kozlov (6:2, 6:4, 6:0), in the second round he beat Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech (6:2, 7:5, 6 :3), and in the third round he beat China’s Yibin Wu (6:4, 6:2, 6:2). On Sunday, he will face Australian Nick Kirios.
– Indeed, everyone says that the decisive meeting will be exactly like that, but it is impossible to predict. Nadal’s play this season isn’t something surprising, but you’re starting to treat him with even more respect. The way he plays, fights injuries, endures many hours of matches at any Grand Slam tournament, is admirable. Rafa is brilliant in this regard.
When you go out to play with him, you understand that you will not be spoiled. No one will give points, because on the other side of the court, one person knows how to play TSH Finals and knows how to win them. Therefore, I want Daniil to reach the final, if there is a game with the Spaniard then you will have to take advantage of it. This confrontation has been going on for several years and has become a symbol of the generational change in tennis: youth against experience. If Daniil reaches the final for the second year in a row it will be a huge achievement, but for now we have to win the next game. It is better to think gradually and not think about anything yet for the final,” Vesnina told .
In the 2019 US Open final, Medvedev lost to Nadal in five sets (5:7, 3:6, 7:5, 6:4, 4:6). This year, Daniel lost to the Spaniard in the decisive Australian Open match (6:2, 7:6 (7:5), 4:6, 4:6, 5:7).
The Russian is the defending US Open champion. Nadal has won 22 Grand Slam tournaments.
