Medvedev ahead of the match against Tsitsipas: "He has two more years than me to improve"

The young guns or as they are often called the NextGen players met 4 times in the previous 2 years. In August Tsitsipas spoke about Medvedev.

“He has a very weird game. It’s very sloppy, but a good sloppy. I don’t mean this in a bad way. He’s just very uncomfortable to play against,” Tsitsipas said in August. “He has this completely different way of playing, flat and low, without giving you much angle to work with. It can be very disturbing to play against him. He can make you miss without understanding why you missed.”

Medvedev leads 4-0 in H2H, but each time Tsitsipas managed to take a set. And so Medvedev does not underestimate his opponent and speaks also about the age.

”Stefanos, even though I won all of the matches, they were all really tight. He’s also improving every week,” Medvedev said. “He's still so young. He has two more years than me to improve, talking about age.”

After the win over Djokovic Tsitsipas spoke about Medvedev again.

”[Medvedev] has a very different tennis from most of the players that I have been playing against this year. He's a very mental player,” Tsitsipas said. “Tomorrow is going to be a new challenge for me. I hope I feel well. I hope it's going to be a fresh, new Stefanos out on this court, showing his best tennis and playing smart and making him play out of his comfort zone.”
