The weakness for Medvedev to attack? Go at Djokovic's all-court consistency. Does he look strong? When he's driven back, sometimes he doesn't move through the forehand and he gets caught with his hit in the net. Surely, losing a first set can be considered an opportunity for Medvedev. I think Djokovic wavers in first sets because he's measuring his opponent - the hit of the ball, the rhythm of the court.
Medvedev is more than good enough to take two of the final four sets if he cashes in on the first.Īlexandra Stevenson: First. He was too dominant from the second set on against Kei Nishikori, Jenson Brooksby and Matteo Berrettini, but dropping the first set to Zverev could have cost him dearly had he not eked out a massive, tight third set. He has dropped six sets in this tournament, and he has dropped the first set in four straight matches.
He's never wavered, and there are no weaknesses in his game than his overhead. What weaknesses/areas of opportunity might exist that Medvedev could take advantage of?īrad Gilbert: Yellow card for stupidity of question. Djokovic is looking at history and has wavered at times in the tournament, especially in first sets. Who comes out on top in Sunday's US Open men's final?
