- Great run.Medvedev, in the footsteps of Lendl and Agassi
Of the emerging players, nobody is as strong-headed as Daniil Medvedev. He has ratified it in the US Open after magnificent performances throughout the summer. Noting this, technically it still has many weaknesses. It can be harmed. And Rafa Nadal will be clear on how to exploit his weaknesses.
The Russian gets well, projected by his 1.98, has a great setback, but the directions do not vary much, and suffers certain inconsistencies. It has no hand, left, or volley. It is still very green in those facets of the game. The Spanish will make him suffer with cut strokes and changes in height, opening angles and creating discomfort.
Medvedev loves to work against it, to dismantle the game from the opposite. He will have it so complicated against an opponent like Nadal, who will move him continuously from side to side. The Russian plays three or four meters behind the baseline, another advantage for his opponent.
He is young and is packed, but he also carries a good beating. With youth, wear is less noticeable, but it can end up weighing. I can hardly see how it can complicate Nadal's life. I see Spanish better than ever. It was never so aggressive entry. He has seen that he has an opportunity to take the initiative, he does it immediately, which makes him even a better player, especially in fast track.
Under normal circumstances, if there is no mishap, the three-time tournament champion is clearly a favorite to get his 19th Grand Slam title. With 23 years, Medvedev arrives at the appointment too soon, before an almost unapproachable opponent.
