The path to the final of the main grass of the first racket of Russia, which is fighting for the second “Slam” in his career.
The third racket in the world, Daniil Medvedev, can meet his sworn rival Stefanos Tsitsipas already in the quarterfinal phase of the current draw. Let’s take a look at the Wimbledon 2023 draw.
Before the start in London, the singles draw of the oldest tennis tournament took place, which has been held on the courts of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 1877. Of course, the men’s tournament is of great interest to the Russian public, since this season the organizers finally revised the requirements: the Russians and the Belarusians could still play the third Major of the season, but in a neutral state and with a ban. in the financing of state companies, such as and other ATP and WTA tournaments.

Daniil Medvedev came to the grass “Helmet” in the status of the third seed. It is worth noting that the tournaments that took place on the eve of the main start on this surface, the champion of the US Open – 2021 did not play in the most successful way. In ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Medvedev lost to Frenchman Adriano Mannarino early in the competition. However, in Halle, the first racket from Russia slightly improved the result and reached the 1/4 final, where he lost to the Spanish Roberto Bautista-Agut.

After the Wimbledon 2023 draw took place, artificial intelligence, as the main phenomenon of this year, decided to analyze its results. According to the analysis of AI technologies on the Grass Slam website, Daniil Medvedev, among others, was among the top 5 players with the lightest nets in the tournament. The Russian star was ranked fourth on this list. Let’s take a look at the 27-year-old Muscovite’s opponents en route to a potential competition final.
Medvedev hit half of Alcaraz. This means that he may meet the formidable Spaniard only in the semifinals, but Djokovic only in the final. In the first round, the Russian will play the British Arthur Fery (WC), who does not have the highest status, and in the second round, if Daniil manages to get into it, he will face an interesting matchup with either racket number 52 of the world, Adrian Mannarino. , who, as we have already pointed out, was completely outclassed recently by the Russian in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, or by his compatriot Alexander Shevchenko. The Frenchman is seen as a very uncomfortable opponent for the winner of the American Major two years ago, since he has a positive balance in the matches with Daniil: 4-2.

In the third round, it is possible that two seeded tennis players will meet. In the same sector of the grid with Medvedev was the Dutchman Tallon Grikspor (29), who just won that ‘s-Hertogenbosch. The Russian has yet to meet with Tallon. But in the fourth round, the battle with the 16th seed Tommy Paul, who is having an excellent season on grass and reached the final of the Eastbourne tournament on the eve of Wimbledon, is quite likely. At the same time, it is also possible that Medvedev will play at this stage with the Argentine Francisco Cerundolo (18), who took the title last weekend in Eastbourne itself. Don’t forget strong unseeded Milos Raonic though, who returned to the tour in June 2023 after a long absence. The Canadian, with an incredible serve, reached the Wimbledon final seven years ago and is famous for his good game on grass.
In the 1/4 finals of the British TBSH, Daniil’s potential opponent with the highest seed number is Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas (5). Historically, matchups with an Athens native almost always stand out as passionate and cloaked in drama, both on and off the pitch. The last time fate brought these great tennis players together was recently: in the semifinals in Rome. It was the Russian who then took the ticket to the decisive stage of the Italian “thousand”. Note that Daniel generally has a difficult history of personal relationships with a native of Athens. The tennis players played 12 times, and a Greek with Russian roots won four times. At the same time, the players have never had a chance to fight each other on the pitch.

In the semifinals, a match with Alcaraz (1) or Rune (6) is likely. With the current first racket in the world, the Russian has met only twice in his entire career, and the last time in 2023: in the final of the Indian Wells Masters. Then Medvedev lost without a chance to the Spanish prodigy. C Dane, a 27-year-old native of Moscow, also played this season, and twice. If it was Holger who was stronger in the 1/4 final of the “thousand” in Monte Carlo, then already in the final in Rome, Daniil managed to take revenge in two games.
Well, in the final, many tennis fans are waiting for the battle between Medvedev and Djokovic. It is worth noting that these players have already competed for titles in Slams. At the Australian Open – 2021, the experienced Serb turned out to be stronger. And at the US Open – 2021, the Russian, quite unexpectedly for everyone in three games, broke the resistance of his more status opponent, not allowing him to put together the “Calendar Helmet”. It is possible that both players could reach the decisive match in the grass major as early as 2023.
