The defeat of Daniil Medvedev in the first round of Roland Garros is due to the very good level of tennis of his rival Brazilian Seibut Tyago, Russian tennis player Andrey Olkhovsky believes.
The meeting lasted 4 hours and 15 minutes and ended with a score of 7:6 (7:5), 6:7 (6:8), 2:6, 6:3, 6:4 in favor of the 172nd racket of the world, who made it to main draw through qualification.
– The defeat of Medvedev is completely unexpected. Most of us thought quite the opposite. But it happened, it happens. First of all, I would like to note the game of the Brazilian, who showed solid tennis. And here, not only did Daniel not use his chances somewhere, but the Brazilian showed very good tennis, in my opinion.
Serving for the match with a score of 30:30, the Brazilian wins a phenomenal two points. A phenomenal match point that Wild took a chance on and hit. Here, most of the pluses must be given to the Brazilian, who played the ending of the match very well, – Olkhovsky said to the “Championship”.
