"Friendship with Djokovic could hinder him" believes Mats Wilander on Daniil Medvedev

Daniil Medvedev is friendly with a lot of players but rarely if ever does he name other players his friends. Djokovic can count himself among those he calls friends as the Russian recently disclosed that he has a very good relationship with the Serbian. They have been practicing together for a few weeks now and Mats Wilander is wary of that.

Speaking on that he said:

"I am not sure I necessarily like that Novak and Daniill are hanging out and practising together. I like to see a little more fireworks between them because there were no fireworks at the US Open in the finals, there were no fireworks in Melbourne in the [Australian] Open final."

Wilander believes that Novak Djokovic is quite crafty when it comes to using that to his advantage. He explained:

"I think this [relationship] is great for Novak in the long run. Novak learns a lot about his opponents by practising with them, and I think Daniil is going to learn that Novak is the greatest player of all time by practising with him. So I think it can only help Novak. "

Even so, Wilander believes Medvedev has arrived at the top and he will remain there for a few years. On the Russian he said:

"I think Daniil Medvedev has arrived. He's going to be at the top of the game for the next five or six years, if nothing physical happens to him.He runs so far, he moves so well and he has to play a lot of long points from the baseline. Of course, when he serves well, those points are short, but otherwise, in return games, he plays long points."
