Such a well spoken athlete, with great perspective and mindset. The fact that he gets passionate sometimes makes him even more well-rounded and interesting to watch play. I look forward to many many more years of Medvedev being on the ATP tour and bringing us excitement in his tennis game
@@carlosm9364 That's what people who don't know how to argue say. "Still he is better than you." No s**t he is, he's a current top 5 player. Doesn't mean that we can't critique or joke about his playing. We all acknowledge that he is amazing because he is.
Just because a player had leads and opportunities to close out sets doesn't always mean they choked. People keep saying Daniil choked when really Thiem upped his level when Medvedev had opportunities to close out sets 2 and 3. Medvedev didn't play as well as he did earlier in the tournament, but he didn't choke and he is still one of the toughest players from a mental standpoint. Thiem was outstanding and he just beat him when it mattered.
Indeed, Medvedev didn't choke. Thiem was just the best, more complete player in that match! He had the larger arsenal, more weapons he could use to change the rhythm. Backhand slices, better touch, better net game and volleys. Medvedev is inept at those aspects of the game and that's why he lost.
Never saw someone as positive after a loss. If this is his mood after a SF loss of a slam, this guy's mental ability could really put him up there in the future.
I love how he really gives ANSWERS to the questions. Like clear, honest and actual answers. He is not being ambiguous nor giving little effort like a lot of other players out there
Sorry, but I don't think so- last year was probably his only hope, can't see it happened, now with Fed coming back next year, perhaps this was his final chance, with Novak going out via self detonation, if you still can't convert, and put some doubt, in Thiem's mind, you never will, sorry, the dude is done, until he gets over the Nadal trauma.
@@pauljohnson6019 he is still young though. He can still be developed further into a machine. Even if he wouldn't win any grand slams in the future, he will still give a great fight and still has a decent chance to win instead of no chances at all.
Yeah he definitely had chances to win 2nd & 3rd set with an early break but to Thiem credit, he was playing smart, patient AND conservative tennis, slicing backhand until he had an opening down the line.
He had chances but Thiem was consistently playing better. After he lost his serve early in the 2nd set, Thiem was holding his serves comfortably without any game going to deuce whereas many of Medvedev's service games went to deuce and it was a matter of time before Thiem broke him back. The 3rd set was definitely Medvedev's to take but again Thiem just wasn't giving up any free points. Overall, Thiem was returning better and had more energy in the rallies and deserved to win.
He might seem a little bit a arrogant on the court but hes a true professional to handle a tough loss like that and giving such a nice interview afterwards.
Well, when you serve for the set and have such a big serve, then its obvious he could and should have done better. But thats it. Play big in big moments or lose. P. S. He is way too defensive.
Wrong dude. Medvedev could have done plenty, he let the umpire and supervisor let it get to his head, where was this fire power with Nadal last year? He showed no emotion, and tamely let Nadal boss him, and now, when he shows it, it backfires on him, he played awful points on bp, and didn't have the belief he could win- or didn't feel he deserved to, the whole match could have turned, if he got the second, or third set. Nadal gets to gloat somewhere, knowing he did the damage last year, and could possibly, stop him for the rest of his career, ever getting a slam, he should put a jinx on Nadal, time for heavy prayers to come out!
Danil, smart and persistent guy, with the right mindset to win. I look forward to seeing how his game develops, perhaps toward shorter points and more net play.
European players always seem so much engaging in their press conferences. Not everyone is like this guy for sure, but when you compare the US players and the way they answer questions make them seem boring, one dimensional, cliche'd and almost dumb in some cases. They just don't come across as very worldly people, despite the nature of the sport.
The way he handled this tough post match conference so well and being really raw and honest, he will win some day. U gotta respect your own game and your opponent honestly only then u can get better. I was surprised how calm and relaxed he was here. I think he said it all. Tennis is all about the little things here and there and no he didn’t choke to double faults or keep missing here and there. Anyone who ever played at any level of tennis would know how hard to close out set/match! Probably there could be better tactics here and there but come on we are human beings not some quantum machine that can calculate all possibilities in split milliseconds
love this guy!!! All grace and composure after losing a GS SF match...tomorrow he might want to rip your head off. So very human and so much fun to watch.
@@MrPatrickbuit Yes, Rafa can be gracious, fed sometimes too. But Medvedev in this was really objective and pleasant even though he had just lost an important match. I've not seen that very often myself from the big 3.
Not just yet. Medwedew and Thiem have the tools to be dominant, but it will mainly depend on the time Djokovic and Nadal can keep their current level. Right now, Djokovic is the top and Nadal and Thiem 2nd tier, while I think Medwedew and Federer are the 3rd tier. Then I rate Zverev, Berrettini, Monfils and some others the next tier. For the future, guys like Auger-Aliassime and De Minaur will be competing for the top 5 as well. So it won't be easy to dominate like the original big 3.
@@michelegavelli2479 I know it's quite difficult to be accurate in a ranking like that. I was thinking about direct comparisons. Do you think Federer can defeat Thiem or Nadal on any surface apart from lawn? As I cannot, I rank him 3rd tier. I would rather think about rating Medwedew 2nd tier and Federer 3rd without another guy on his level.
@Winning Matt - Big 3 of next gens may be but they are extremely far from filling the shoes of the Real Big 3. The Big 3 were winning left and right by their age. Also no matter how tough they look now Djokovic would have demolished all 3 of them any day on hard courts and Nadal the same on clay courts.
One thing I heard during the commentary of the match, in the first set when Daniil's serve was out but it wasn't called and he lost the point because he couldn't challenge his own serve, he started to get sarcastic and frustrated with the umpire. The commentators said "we are getting to see the real Daniil". A pretty unnecessary comment since he was right in the end that he should have been looking at a second serve instead of losing the point. Daniil is a great player, where was the comment about seeing the real Djokovic after his default?
Medvedev is one of the toughest players to beat today in the ATP Tour. And he’s pushing other players to their limits, improving their game. Just like Djokovic improved his game because of Federer.
He is a very humble and likeable guy, but I don't think he played at his best level, while Dominic was very close to it. That was the difference I think.
yep, Medvedev played great. The fact that he lost says how well Thiem was playing. The level of tennis was very high, reminiscent of some of the great matches between Federer, Nadal, Djokovic or Murray when they were at their best.
It looked like they were both playing close to their current best level and Thiem's best level is just a tad better at the moment, so he is right to not be disappointed, he didn't do anything wrong and either way, woulda coulda shoulda is nothing to dwell on either way. He should just recognize where and why Thiem was better and start working. I really like his positive state of mind he seems to be in.
Yeah, well you gotta blame Nadal for that- clearly he lacked belief in key moments, probably was thinking, about last year finals, and saw Thiem as the new Nadal.
It was in the middle of a pandemic, and they had to limit the number of people in the audience. And not all journalists were present due to travel restrictions.
Thiem should have that Australian open this year and french open he’s been unlucky facing nadal 😅.He should win us open and he’s gonna be a danger on clay aswell.His confidence will be high.
he took it really well. he's totally enjoying himself here
very true
...sure
@@dark3rthanshadows Its obviously true did you even watch this video?
I wouldn’t say he’s enjoying himself but he’s ok with the loss and takes it well 👍
Such a well spoken athlete, with great perspective and mindset. The fact that he gets passionate sometimes makes him even more well-rounded and interesting to watch play. I look forward to many many more years of Medvedev being on the ATP tour and bringing us excitement in his tennis game
smart guy, obviously medvedev is very competitive and even after a loss and a chance at a grand slam, he's still very composed
Yeah.... I bet his hand never shakes!
Medvedev took his coach's advice of finishing all matches in straight sets.
Lol

Still he is better than You lol

I think he's showing a lot of grace here-also the sign of a champion.
ФИГУ С МАСЛОМ !!!
True
Absolutely true... even Dominic said earlier that Danill is close to the level of big 3...he definitely has that kind of cool attitude.
I love how he gave due credit to Thiem that played on that phenomenonal level we have come to expect for a top player like him
That's a true gentleman, giving credit to a better opponent.

Yes even in the 2 tie breaks it was only 2 or 3 points difference. I'd say very close too 👏🏻
I think both medvedev and thiem played very well or near their best ! Thiem is a monster but med will soon win a slam it will come
Agree
Busta choked though
Indeed, Medvedev didn't choke. Thiem was just the best, more complete player in that match! He had the larger arsenal, more weapons he could use to change the rhythm. Backhand slices, better touch, better net game and volleys. Medvedev is inept at those aspects of the game and that's why he lost.

@1 % of % 1 happy for having a great match
im glad i got a glimpse of medvedev 2019 during the first set. still a fan.
Medvedev is one of the best tennis players..
Rafa said about the same after losing AO quarters to Thiem in 3 Tiebreaks.
ДА ЧТО ТЫ ТАКОЕ ГОВОРИШЬ 😉😉😉😉
He seems sincere unlike most of the champions. I think him and Wawrinka are the most sincere tennis champions
felt the same way
Let’s hope medvedev gets 3 slams like Stanimal
Stan left his pregnant wife for an 18 year old. Some of these guys are great tennis players but not great people.
@cristi dules Fully agree. This roland Garros final was a master piece against peak djokovic.
I love how he really gives ANSWERS to the questions. Like clear, honest and actual answers. He is not being ambiguous nor giving little effort like a lot of other players out there

Smart answers, this guy is too smart. Starting to like him a lot now, understands tennis better.
He had a huge chance to win the second, chances in the third. Knew that might’ve won him the us open

Great job for Medy, each time you gotta learn something and keep moving on
He has beautiful eyes and smile. I like him
Daniil speaks so well and enthusiastically 👍
He’s very smart, has creativity in his approaches, and mindset of a champion- he’s going to continue to do very well.
Theim was playing his best tennis & Medvedev couldnt do much about it.. tight match
Yeah, that sums it up pretty well.
Yeah the only thing was if he’d made a couple first serves at timely moments like at 5-4 and 5-3.
Well, when you serve for the set and have such a big serve, then its obvious he could and should have done better.
But thats it.
Play big in big moments or lose.

This guy has the attitude of becoming a grand slam champion one day . Love from 🇮🇳
One day might never come, look at Anderson, two chances blown, and has never, made a finals since.
Well, he shouldn't have lost yesterday in 2 sets. Utterly disappointed!
