Russian tennis coach Viktor Yanchuk commented on Daniil Medvedev’s entry into the Wimbledon semi-finals, noting that the Russian turned the tide of the match with American Christopher Eubanks due to his character.
Medvedev beat Eubanks in five games to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals for the first time. Prior to this draw, the best result of the 27-year-old Russian in the tournament was the fourth round in 2021.
– Medvedev is getting better and better at mastering the grass. Grass is not the best for him, so you have to give all the best every time. Medvedev’s skill is superior to that of Eubanks. But on the grass there is no way to run and play on the bounced ball on the back line.
The American was not known until Wimbledon. This complicated the task for Medvedev. Because in this case, you have to pick up the keys during the match. But Daniel did a good job with this task. It was not so much skill that played as Medvedev’s character. He does not give away balls for nothing and always plays to the end. When it seemed that the victory of Eubanks was close, Medvedev turned on and seized the initiative, – quotes Yanchuk “Championship”.
Medvedev for reaching the final of Wimbledon will argue with the first racket of the world Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
