Daniil Medvedev
Daniil Medvedev, second seed at US Open 2021 has been in some form so far, as he has claimed three successive straight sets victories so far. The Russian continued his remarkable run, as he defeated the Spaniard, Pablo Andujar in straight sets in the third round.
It was at the US Open that the journey started for the Russian, as he reached the finals in 2019, where he lost to Rafael Nadal in five sets. Daniil Medvedev stated that he is happy with his current level of tennis, and expressed his delight on another straight sets victory.
“It was a great match,” Medvedev said in his press conference. “[It is] always great to finish in straight sets. The more matches you can win in straight sets the better. [The] second and third sets were much tighter, a lot of long rallies. I am happy with my level, happy with everything,” he added.
Dan Evans is a tricky opponent: Daniil Medvedev
Daniil Medvedev will now face the 24th seed, Dan Evans in the fourth round encounter. The Briton produced a remarkable comeback in the third round, as he came back from two sets down against Alexei Popyrin.
“I think it’s tough to describe him [Evans] with one word, but definitely very tricky. I would think very smart because he doesn’t have one shot that is a weapon, and yet he’s a top player for many years already. The way he chooses the right moment to go to the net, to slice, to make a drop shot. His serve is not huge, but it’s tough to return. [He is] a great player,” said Medvedev.
Daniil Medvedev stated that he can do big things at US Open 2021 this time around, and he believes in his abilities to do so. He stressed on the importance of being consistent, and bringing out his best against tougher opponents.
“I’m feeling I can do big things,” Medvedev added. “But I know I need to continue playing well. The further you go, the tougher matches and tougher opponents you get. You just need to stay consistent and bring out your best every match,” he added.
