“Against Kirios, Medvedev won’t have anything to catch if he doesn’t act confidently on reception and keep his serve” – ​​Vesnina

Elena, three-time Grand Slam winner and 2016 Olympic doubles champion Vesnin in an interview with , she said that the first racket in the world, the Russian Daniil Medvedev win Australian Nick Kyrios in the fourth round of the US Open, you have to be exemplary at the reception and not get the wrong serve.

Medvedev will face Kirios on Sunday, September 4. In one-on-one encounters with Medvedev, Kyrios leads 3-1.

– I think it’s even great that Danya lost to Kyrios at the start of the Masters in Canada. Such defeats are always a small upheaval, set up psychologically. It’s better to play like that in Montreal to draw conclusions and avoid the mistakes that were made in the previous game. Medvedev is showing himself to be very confident at this US Open, he is already a mature and mature player. He emanates from him the right attitude. He’s not the same youngster who turned the crowd against him in the 2019 US Open final with Rafael Nadal. He is a completely different tennis player who has grown in every aspect.

So in game terms a Russian is better for me than Kirios. Yes, Nick is very lively, passionate and brilliant, but will he be enough against an athlete of this level? It should be noted that he often beats those who are higher in the rankings than him. In such confrontations he has a charge and a desire to show his full potential, but let’s hope Danya can cope with his fuse and his 200 km/h delivery. It is important for Medvedev to keep his game, to act confidently at the reception and to keep the serve, especially the first. But otherwise there will be nothing to make up for against Kirios, Vesnina told .

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).
