Russian Daniil Medvedev, world number 4, is probably the best player of the moment. Daniil has just returned from winning the Masters 1000 at Paris Bercy and also here at the Masters 1000 he continues and has won 4 of the 4 races so far in London.
Rafael Nadal served for the match, but Medvedev did not give up and had a great reaction, thus winning the second set in the tiebreaker. Rafa appeared unloaded in the final and thus gave in in the last game of the race.
Medvedev’s words at the press conference
At the end of the match, the Russian commented on the match with the following statements: “Until the break immediately in the first set I felt superior in the match, then I made a couple of mistakes and they handed Rafa the right answer.
I knew that they had to change certain things to get back in and I did, I played backhand that I noticed that I only used it on my back and I think I was very worried. I won the second set in the tie break and was aware that I was fighting for success.
In the third set I grew up and deserved the victory. Every time it seems like fans always wanted to review the Nadal vs Djokovic match, but finally we will see Medvedev vs Thiem. I think it’s great that tennis players like me or Dominic are fighting for the big titles, it will be very tough, he had a great year and he won his first Grand Slam title.
The last time we saw each other we both played at a high level, he dominated the first set and I was not at my best. Thiem is an incredible tennis player, I have trained with him several times and we know everyone’s strengths and weaknesses.
What does it take to beat Rafa? I think it takes everything, a good backhand, a good forehand and a great serve. So you have to be very good mentally and fight at each point as if it were the last. Last year I saw him recover a race that he had practically won and today he did not want to lose at all, I am happy for the victory. ”
