  • The Daniil Medvedev has a remarkably strange but effective playing style. His fellow players have described him as a chessmaster; a genius; an octopus. Let’s see how these 4 critical aspects of his game throw other players off-balance.

    His court coverage and agility for somebody his height is by far the most remarkable part of his game if you ask me. Nobody that tall should move that well.

    • @germanslice
      @germanslice ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Danill is dangerous because he hits the ball very low and flat with spin through the court with alot of pace taking people's time away from them as well as being fast around the court.

    He’s extremely confident in a humble way as he KNOWS himself and the game just like the Big 3 also do. It’s a mental game to him and he’s SMARTER than most other top players because he doesn’t really ONLY on the physical and power of his strokes (even though they’re amazing too)

  • @YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi

    As stated by many already his style is unorthodox, perhaps to some even a negative approach. I myself find his playstyle elegant and clean, very much a perfect counterpuncher in the vein of Djokovic but with a very unique twist. He's an intriguing figure in the top of tennis, plus he gives the best interviews by far. He's a very straight up and honest bloke, quite likable. He's got a few more slams in him I reckon.

    • @Baratheon.
      @Baratheon. ปีที่แล้ว +1

      To me it's how much he forces you to do, to even win a single point. You have to be almost perfect with your shots to force past him. Nadal's high win % against him is due to Nadal's ability to create high percentage winners via point construction, while being very consistent (forehand rarely misses)

  • @danielaguilera474

    I usually go for traditional styles but theres something I enjoy about Medvedev. He really does seem like an octopus chessmaster with the different ways he hits the ball and moves. It makes one uncomfortable and gets in the head of others. I also enjoy how he is able to win the crowd too somehow lol. Hes a funny dark horse and is so fun to watch

    I love to think about Daniil as the Waluigi of the circuit (in a good hearted way). Similar constitution, unorthodox technique that feels often as if he was an amateur... But always finds a way to win the point and turn defensive stances into lethal offenses with ease. It can be funny or weird to watch from outside, but the more you learn about tennis, the more impressive this guy becomes

  • @hksrm4172
    @hksrm4172 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Quickness is more about the mind than the body. He always thinks about the things that might happen next, after his shot. So he is ready and he reacts quickly. And he also has that long legs and arms to reach everytning in sight. More importantly he has the will to do this.

  • @karmicpower
    @karmicpower 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Actually for a squash player his style is nothing unusual - he has a great control of where the ball will hit, aiming close to the line or corners. Also, he is running to each point, this is what you learn in squash - you have to try and chase every ball, you will be surprised what balls you can get if you chase every ball. Being able to serve acute angles from any position and using the whole field is also very squash-like. Tennis for a long time was missing those "simple" squash techniques.

    My respect for Medvedev grew even more after his win over Eubanks in Wimbledon.
    Eubanks was like the player to beat. He was overmatching every opponent until he faced Medvedev.
    Medvedev made Eubanks look like a player of much inferior level which is not the truth.

    • @orchidpanda2253
      @orchidpanda2253 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Dude, Eubanks' run at Wimby was a bit overinflated, considering he played Tsitsipas after Tsitsipas had played 4-5 days in a row due to rain delays -- when a player doesn't get any recovery time after a 5 setter and faces a big server like Eubanks on grass, it's gonna be an unfair advantage. Now if Meddy beats Djokovic, Alcaraz or Sinner or even Hurkacz on grass - I'll be impressed.

    Medvedev game is quite simple:
    1) he hits back with a tenacity of a jackhammer, making very few mistakes and maintaining rally tirelessly.
    2) his serve may not be super fast but his placement is superb, often hitting o T or very wide
    3) he have a big reach, making hard to pass him or lob him.
    4) either his opponent misses or shorten the ball to him.
    5) to beat him you’re going need to be very offensive and have all weapons on your arsenal sharp. ( like Federer or alcaraz)

    I think his contact point is the crux of his game. He takes the ball at its apex but with his height he still plays the ball at waist height but can hit flat. It’s like normal height players playing with a reduced height net, you can hit the flat ball much harder.

      IW has a slower court which he complained of. Slow courts are his kryptonite which explains why he never generally does well in clay courts. Making the finals of IW is already a miracle. Also, you have to factor in fatigue. By the time he has reached IW final, he has already played 3 finals for 3 different weeks. So, there goes. It would be interesting to know how their match-up would turn out if they play on a faster HC.

There have been several times when I thought there's no way he's winning with his game and he does - he had no business winning Rome!!! 🤣 He's willed himself to the top of the game like Joe Rogan willed himself to be a good comedian. But now he's hitting a wall called Jannlitos and he's getting exposed so let's see what happens.
