Daniil Medvedev's challenge

The Russian tennis player is looking to win his second Grand Slam, the first one was at the US Open and against Djokovic. Regarding the final he added that "the challenge is to face a guy who won 23 Grand Slams and I only have one. When I beat him here, I managed to play better than I normally play. I need to do that again. There's no other way."


He was also very happy about his level he showed in the semifinal match against Carlos Alcaraz: "I had said that I needed my tennis to be eleven points out of ten possible. And actually my tennis tonight, with the exception of the third set, has been twelve points out of a possible ten. It was a great match on my side and I'm happy to be in Sunday's final."

September 10, 2023 3:28 PM ET

Djokovic, in the chance of a rematch

After losing in the 2021 US Open final against Daniil Medvedev the Serb is looking for revenge. On this the Serb commented the following: "I don't have much time or allow myself to reflect on these things or think too much about history, because when I did it in the past, like in the 21 finals here, maybe I was overwhelmed by the occasion and the opportunity and underperformed".

 

About the final he explained that "there's another match left, so of course the conversation will probably be even better if I win a title in two days. But definitely, whatever happens, I'm extremely proud and happy with what I've achieved this year in Grand Slams".
