Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev plays better in the worst situation, but he lacks stability, there are nuances and peculiarities in his championship psychology, Shamil Tarpishchev, president of the Russian Tennis Federation, told RG.
I think he will be in the top five. Djokovic is now out of reach for everyone. But in general, the competition has become fiercer. Seven or eight players are almost equal. It is hardly worth guessing that Medvedev will rise higher this year. Although in terms of the quality of the game, in terms of improving technical and tactical data, Danya looks even better than when he was the leader in the rating. But for now, he’s playing unevenly. The nervous system is not trained due to the absence due to injury and surgery, all this hassle. I think that when everything returns to normal, he will slowly get to the top five.
Medvedev has good mobilization of the nervous system. That is, in the worst situation, he plays better. For example, risks and hits. However, Daniel lacks stability. He is psychologically quite vulnerable. That’s why I’m talking about the untrained nervous system. He plays great, and then there is a decline and a series of mistakes. Yes, Medvedev has champion psychology. But there are nuances and features. They need to be known and taken into account. And mentally, everything is fine with him, – said Tarpishchev.
In the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) rankings updated on Monday, Medvedev moved up to sixth place. He beat compatriot Andrey Rublev. On March 4, Medvedev defeated Rublev in the final of the ATP 500 tournament in Dubai, and earlier he knocked out the world’s number one Serb Novak Djokovic from the fight.

Elina Svitolina (WTA 12) will face Mirra Andreeva (WTA 7) in the fourth round of the Australian Open on January 25.
The match is scheduled to start at 12:00 Kyiv time.
Sport.ua together with a betting partner bet announcing the upcoming fight!
Elina Svitolina
The Ukrainian athlete started this season brilliantly and currently has a streak of eight wins in official tournaments. Svitolina has already won the title in Auckland but she needs to perform well at the majors.
In the first round, the athlete defeated Spaniard Krystyna Buksha with scores of 6:4, 6:1, then defeated the young Polish player Linda Klimovichova with scores of 7:5, 6:1. The most difficult was the last match against the “neutral” Diana Schneider – 7:6, 6:3, in this match there were up to nine breaks. Svitolina won the last fight with her experience, made a little less mistakes, won a little more and finally put the finishing touches on her opponent.
The best performance at the Australian Open was in the quarter-finals; This was achieved three times, thus putting the tennis player one step away from repeating his personal best. If successful, Elina will compete with the winner of the Gauff-Mukhova pairing.
Mirra Andreeva
The “neutral” team also starts the season well but rarely behaves with dignity on the field. Andreeva reached the quarter-finals in Brisbane, where she deservedly lost to Marta Kostyuk in two sets. Later, the athlete managed to win the championship in Adelaide, beating Canadian Mboko in the final.
The tennis player is 18 years old and is not bothered by his busy schedule. Despite its place in the top 10, it lacks emotional stability. Andreeva started this tournament with a tough win against Donna Vekic – 4:6, 6:3, 6:0, then beat Greek Maria Sakkari 6:4, 6:0 and in the last match she beat Romanian Elena-Gabriela Ruse 6:3, 6:4. At the Australian Major the neutral team never advanced beyond the fourth round.
personal meetings
The tennis players played each other only once; The match took place in the quarter-finals of the Indian Wells tournament in March last year. Andreeva then won with scores of 7:5 and 6:3.
To guess
Bookmakers give a slight advantage to the “neutral”, which is explained by the fact that it is higher in the rankings and is also 13 years younger. Svitolina’s motivation will be very high in such a match.
I don’t think the winner will be determined quickly, so I’m betting on 1.76 out of 21.5 games in total.
