Tennis: Medvedev on conquered ground, he wants a reunion with Alcaraz!

This week, the Beijing tournament, an ATP 500, will pit 15 players from the top 20 against each other, including 8 from the top 10. As usual, this tournament will serve as a dress rehearsal for Shanghai, the only Masters 1000 on the Asian continent, and the public risks seeing a lot of spectacle in view of the posters. Moreover, everyone will want to show their strength against strong opposition, starting with Daniil Medvedev.

This year, the duel between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic gave rise to huge fights. Behind the first two in the ranking, one man particularly stands out from the others: Daniil Medvedev. Back in the top 3, the Russian returned to a very high level during the season and could continue his momentum at the end of the season. Moreover, it was he who opposed Shanghai in 2019 during the last edition before Covid.

An exciting tournament

For the public, this tournament Beijing will definitely be very interesting to follow. But for the players, it’s the same thing since they will be able to learn a lot about their opponents in the coming days. “It’s very hard and it looks like a Masters 1000 or Grand Slam table. In a way, it’s even more complicated than a Grand Slam. It’s going to be very interesting, I think we’re going to see different results regarding the seeds, there won’t be an easy match.” commented Daniil Medvedev before entering the fray.

Medvedev-Alcaraz, the revanche?

Excellent atUS Open during the semi-finals, Daniil Medvedev managed to extinguish Carlos Alcaraz in 4 sets. The two players, in very good shape for months, could therefore find themselves in the final of the tournament Beijing. Excellent news for the Russian, now more confident. “I think if we end up playing each other this week, we will both be happy since it will be in the final. It’s a good goal and I’m going to try to make it happen.” did he declare.

The inevitable duel?

Very comfortable for months on the circuit, Daniil Medvedev et Carlos Alcaraz appear above their opponents and a final seems already written. However, you will have to be very strong this week to go to the end. For many players it will be a recovery after theUS Open and it may take time to get back to the right side. In the absence of Novak Djokovicthe Russian and the Spaniard have the cards in hand.
