Final Alexander Zverev d. Daniil Medvedev    6-4, 6-4    [1:15 h] Medvedev began to play his best tennis when he was trailing 4-6, *0:2… prior to that moment he had hit just 1 winner! I suppose he was a … Continue reading →

Group “Tokyo ’20” – Day 6 Daniil Medvedev d. Diego Schwartzman    6-3, 6-3    [1:13 h] Medvedev tactically played a perfect match. Two weeks ago he had defeated Schwartzman 6-3, 6-1 in Paris, so feeling such an advantage over … Continue reading →

Group “Tokyo ’70” – Day 4 Daniil Medvedev d. Novak Djokovic    6-3, 6-3    [1:21 h] Very disappointing match. I had an impression that Djokovic wasn’t particularly interested once he was broken at 3-all in the opener. Medvedev won … Continue reading →
