Medvedev cruises to maiden grass court title against Querrey at Mallorca Championships
ATPSaturday, 26 June 2021 at 17:20
Daniil Medvedev has claimed a maiden grass court title with victory at the Mallorca Championships over Sam Querrey in a 6-4, 6-2 victory for the World Number Two.
Medvedev secured it in style with an ace and it goes alongside 10 prior triumphs on the ATP Tour with all previously coming on hard courts.
This also sees the Russian establish himself as one of the leading contenders at Wimbledon next week with Novak Djokovic seemingly leading the way and the likes of Rafael Nadal and Dominic Thiem not involved in London.
After a closely fought opening set, he broke after Querrey double faulted four times in a game and was on the receiving end once more with four winners in a row from Medvedev which saw him serve for the title and like alluded to an ace secured it.
Next up will be Jan-Lennard Struff who he lost to in Halle earlier in June in a tough test despite his win in Spain this week.

- I love WTA matches. Seek them out as much as possible on youtube and other platforms I already subscribe to. With that in mind, I do not wish to pay $$$ to a notoriously slippery subscription conglomerate sports broadcaster (like SkySports) just for the privilege to watch it and the tnt/eurosport/discovery subscription went from $$ to $$$+ annually in a blink of an eye. With ATP I have been begrudgingly paying xyz tennis only channel and try to catch up on slams elsewhere (pubs, youtube with USO later on games are just as enjoyable to watch and a smart move to upload on their official channel) but they don't cover WTA. I tried another Tennis dedicated channel that advertised originally as broadcasting where I live, but turned out, they took the money, but didn't cover the matches (only fluff/filler value documentaries). I don't understand why it is so hard to not lock the live matches to one broadcaster only refusing so many people who are happy to pay for the privilege just not through that one entry point. WTA is so exciting for the last few years and they really should capitalise on it as much as possible. And I know it is somewhat naive talking without knowing the inner works, but not being able to find any WTA other than youtube (and then only highlights mostly) is just so frustrating.JayJay11-09-2026

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
