Russian tennis players Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev performed well at the US Open, but Medvedev met the eventual winner of the tournament Jannik Sinner too early. This opinion was expressed in a commentary to socialbites.ca by the former third racket of the world, bronze medalist of the 2012 Olympic Games in London, founder of a children’s tennis school Nadezhda Petrova.
“We can be happy for Medvedev and Rublev. Of course, I would like them to go further. Rublev had a difficult quarterfinal match – both tennis players understood that if they won, they could even reach the final. And they gave everything.
And Medvedev got the first seed. Of course, he tried, but it is now difficult to resist the Sinner. If only the match had turned out differently and they had met in the final, then Daniil could count on something. “So I wish our players victories and a good end to the season,” Petrova said.
Medvedev faced Sinner in the quarterfinals and lost to the Italian in four sets: 2:6, 6:1, 1:6, 4:6. Rublev retired in the 1/8 finals, losing to Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov in five sets: 3:6, 6:7 (3:7), 6:1, 6:3, 3:6.
