His frustration at Bercy two weeks ago seems very distant. For his entry into these ATP Finals, Daniil Medvedev delivered a very serious performance once morest his compatriot Andrey Rublev, and finally beat him in two sets (6-4, 6-2). Very rarely put in danger on his serve, the world number 3 was in the game from the start of the match. He was first heckled by his friend Rublev, an eye-catching time but which ended in the second round. Sovereign without consummation, Medvedev sends a message to Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev, his future adversaries.
We left him with a middle finger addressed to the public at Bercy, following his elimination in the 2nd round once morest Grigor Dimitrov. In the meantime, Daniil Medvedev has crossed the Alps and calmed down, for his entry into the running in Turin. Very calm throughout the meeting, the Russian showed no sign of annoyance, even when his good friend Andrey Rublev gave him a hard time. In this tight game lasting more than 10 minutes, at 5-4 in the first set, for example, he did not flinch at the insistence of his tough compatriot. And on arrival, carried by several successive aces, he resisted four break points to win, in 55 minutes, this very intense and spectacular round (6-4).
Medvedev aggressive when winning the 1st set once morest Rublev
After this set, Medvedev took a decisive mental advantage over Rublev, annoyed by the turn of events. The fifth player in the world lacked lucidity at times, and was also physically affected, with a fall close to the net sounding like the final blow to offer a double break to his rival. The mass actually seemed to have been said for a long time, for Rublev who was broken from the start and out of action during the entire second set (6-2 in 35 minutes).
Medvedev sent a message
While waiting to learn more regarding his physical state, Rublev will perhaps console himself by telling himself that there was not much to see in any case once morest this Medvedev, capable of supersonic returns and counters. fabulous for stopping all his initiative.
