"Technique isn't best but he feels the game" says Tursunov on Medvedev

Daniil Medvedev is known for having an interesting tennis technique but with hard work, the Russian was able to make it work.

The Russian spoke many times about his deep desire to win every match and that is something that has pushed him in his career. Never the most talent, never with the best technique Medvedev was able to create a unique style that has allowed him to defeat opponents from a very young age. Fellow Russian Dmitry Tursunov spoke about Medvedev and his game saying:

"No specialist can train a player by modeling him on Daniil's game. He doesn't have the best technique, but he feels the game wonderfully and masters the geometry of the court. He knows how to make the right choices at the right times to come out brilliantly in all situations."

Tursunov had a fairly successful career of his own as he transitioned into coaching after it concluded. The Russian is working with Anett Kontaveit guiding her to her first WTA Finals appearance earlier this year. Tursunov compared Medvedev to a chess player explaining:

"He is like the chess player (Jose Raul) Capablanca, he has a gift for seeing the game and it is impossible to replicate what he does."

Medvedev is very fond of chess and plays the game regularly so the comparison stands. Tursunov also briefly touched upon Djokovic explaining how he does not see a way Djokovic does not win at least a couple of more grand slams.
