Medjedovic stronger

Based on the preparation tournaments, Medjedovic is expected to win.

Indeed, Medjedovic has made his comeback with solid matches and some nice little wins. He's a real danger, his power on serve and in play is a major asset against a lot of players on the circuit. He also wanted to participate in Winston-Salem and despite a few scares in his first rounds, he held up as often, however, he severely cracked against Mpetshi. He couldn't stand to take aces and have such a choppy match rhythm, I understand that but that's the game. He found himself well ahead in the tie-break before cracking, he's a wet one we just saw again. Behind lights out. I have two fears for him in GC format: his physique, already in matches in two winning sets we often have the impression that he is on the verge of cracking, so in three sets format it's tough. The second point is that mentally he has big downs in his matches, he can get angry and frustrated for nothing, throw away a few games and get back into it. This is definitely not what you should do against Altmaier. The German arrives without any confidence for this US Open but he will be starving, this guy loves GC, he is a GC player. He is mentally very strong and physically he will hold up, he also exhausted and took advantage of an overheated Medjedovic at Roland this year. This is still the angle we will aim for in this match, the ideal would be to see Medjedovic start strong and lower his intensity! But as usual I don't want to have any regrets if Altmaier were to start the match well
