Meddie has the keys
Despite the last 2 confrontations won by the Australian, it is indeed Daniil Medvedev who will decide his fate tonight!
Effectively. Their meeting at Bercy last season was marked by a flagrant lack of motivation on the part of the Russian. And their last in Toronto showed a Russian who scuttled himself as he can sometimes (match against Fucsovic at Wimbledon, does that speak to you? 😉). But on a format of 3 winning sets and in a tournament in which Daniil has already proven his ease and his performance, the advantage is logically given to the latter. The Australian had a relatively easy table with a Jarry at the end of his troubles against this player profile. There we will find huge battles from the baseline with an Alex De Minaur capable of accelerating the game a little more with his early ball catches and his speed of movement. His flat backhand along the line had won him a lot of points in Toronto, a very good weapon for him. The match can be tight, but on the length and the experience, you know... Especially since I find that Daniil tries to play a little less than 4 meters from his line. Good for him! 😋
