Medvedev's anticipation and defensive skills are just insane.
New djokovic is Born maybe
@@elias8645 for me he plays different than novak. Medvedev has more precision on his shots compared to novak and maybe a better volley game(when novak was 25), and for me also a larger variation of shots. Imo has a unique game based on a really high tennis IQ
Great serve and consistency too. You can see why he’s number 2 in the world.
@@kevinchang5082 yep i forgot about it. i hope n1 soon!
But he is anoying because dont celebrate when win title,never,when reach is gs finall same,i think even if he win GS he dont celebrate, robot.
Medvedev looking real good for US open
Not until djocovid pumps more drugs and then he's fucked basically

How can you not like Medvedev? Guy is such a talent.
Zero talent all hard work, he had biggest motivation to train non stop - to get out of the worst country in the world
I really like his game.. i used to like him as a person too, but he is ok only when things go his way. If not, he starts complain and act like a stupid kid. So, i can't root for him anymore, sorry Med 😊
@@jeanclaude5974 Yep, he made it, dream of every russian came through
@@jeanclaude5974 I know for sure Russia is disgusting country that should be wiped out of the face of the earth
@@tomasreznicek still much better country than yours😅
I'm really starting to love Medvedev's game, can't explain it but just feels good to watch him play
It’s because it’s so unorthodox which makes it so satisfying
@Christian Toth It’s only gonna get better for Medvedev. Thiem isn’t playing the same level of tennis anymore and Medvedev is just getting better and better.
Yes, it is that way.
@@wdsa7129 best chance for him at the U.S this year. Nadal might not play and if he does we don't know what he'll be able to bring, no Federer obviously, no Thiem.
Only really Djokovic and mabye Tsitsipas/Zverev to worry about.
@Christian Toth Medvedev is the second best counter puncher. The only problem is that Novak is the best counter puncher in the world. This is why Novak Daniil matches are so terrible for the Russian.
Opelka's movement for a guy of his size is remarkable.
He has to just stretch and not move 😀
Opelka looks like a Tsonga 2.0. Better serve, better backhand, full-on attacking game
I don't think he really moves that well. But because he so big, he covers the court well with a lot less strides than the average player .... he is getting better. Just needs to round out his game and find ways to win other than serving lights out
Opelka appears to be too large long and lethargic to me, I get much pleasure in seeing this goliath of a man out whittled and out skilled on the court.
He's calm, his team is calm and wife is also calm
I'm calm too.
@@PretentiousStuff so I'm
@@jadhavsathish4786 you are extremely calm
Who bro? Med?
Have you watched a match with Bublik ?
Danniil is really effective at neutralising the big servers. Broke Isner 4 times in the Semi, and 3 by Opelka. Could make a devastating run in the US Open.
the only threat for him is hubi. hurkacz does create problems for medvedev.
@@shikhargovil9579 yeah like at the Wimbledon
Djokovic got a big serve but I didn't see him neutralizing that earlier in susie final....He's scared shit of Djokovic
@@samlal3618 Ya. somehow he has problem reading Hurkacz's serve, at both Wimbledon and here.
@@allfruitsripe2022 tough to beat djokovic at ao for sure, thats like his homecourt. Also medvedev couldve played wayy better. Hes not scared of Djokovic he's beaten him 3 times.
That was brutal. Opelka chained together quite some lethal forehands in that rally and still loses that one. If his soul wasn't crushed before, it certainly must've felt like that after that point. That kind of point is hard to shake off for many.
Couple of days ago Opelka said tsitsipas is the second best player in the world after djockovic……I think he meant Medvedev 😛
Novak is a nobody ✅
@@StudyingManually how ironic
Opelka didnt play the same against Med, he played much better against Stef.
@@longinusgalaxy411 Medvedev is a far better returner than Stef though.
@@longinusgalaxy411 nahhh..Meddy just outplayed Opelka which Stefanos couldn’t do..
Wow, I'm really loving Medvedev's unorthodox style. He seems to be able to adapt so well. Maybe he can even get a game winning together on grass.
Well he won a grass tourney recently
He is a good grass court player, could win Wimbledon one day, or any of the hard court slams for the matter
U know as much about tennis as about the voice?
@@KH28m I agree!
@@silb1030 lol No! I played quite well when I was a teenager, and I try to follow what I can, but I'm much more of a musician than a tennis player (and not much of a musician either, if I'm being honest!) It's been quite a while since I made all those Voice comments. Happy times! lol
Daniil, I am now a fan of you. Humble and compose. Well deserved win.
Medvedev will surely be the 1st one out of the NextGen to claim World No. 1. Impressive tennis!
Yh and watch him lose in the first round in the next tournament🤣🤣🤣
@@teragramlawrence2864 If you're saying this, you have never seen Medvedev on the run to the US Open and at the US Open. This is traditionally his strongest period in the season.
Forsure
Still think Thiem is slightly better.
@@ulan303 you need to be strong all year round to be #1, been saying it'll be tsitsipas first for years now, I still believe it too!
Man you gotta love Medvedev, at least i do.
Whether you like him or not, you got to admit he's an original.
He stands out from the rest of the baseline bashers, with his unique brand of tennis.
We love all tennis players Jesus !!
He's a great guy. Although he is definitely another baseline basher haha
Great play by Reillly to get to the finals, and... Daniil deserves his ranking, so much fight, so much resistance, such great shot placement at critical points. Unorthodox but a true champion.
That powered Opelka´s forehand reminds me a lot of Del Potro. So good.
Indeed. Still, prime Del Potro is clearly better overall.
@@georgexanthopoulos3003 nope
@@______________2524 Ok.
@@______________2524 Prime Del Potro competed with the big 3 on a regular basis. Opelka is nowhere near his level.
Del Potro's forehand was better.
Daniil not only has a fantastic offensive game but his defense is amazing in how he makes the opponent have to hit unbelievable shots to win a point.
Congrats..!!! So happy that Daniil won the Toronto masters 1000. He is a class act, and he always speaks the truth. I am a big fan of Daniil. It's nice to have him when Roger, Rafa & Nole leaves tennis. Hope he can keep his great form well into other surfaces too. Good luck Danny boy...!!!
What separates Medvedev from the rest and in league with the Big 3, other than his mentality and attitude -- is he varies his game based on the opponent. And he approaches Tennis like solving a Rubix cube.
He seemingly has answers for all the conundrums the opponent throws at him...should be nicknamed "The professor" 🙂
The only type of players he still has some troubles with is those like himself. I bet he hates to play against flat hitters, counter punchers RBA for example
@@tongzhou4997 Basically anyone who can outgrind him. Not many though-- Novak is the obvious one.
Maybe his coach is good also ????
@@serbianbeast1733 also Nadal
Maybe not now but before he could outgrind him
Med vs Nadal at US open will be exciting and 50/50
Opelka looking slightly tired here at times. Medvedev playing a much smarter match than Tsitsipas did against Opelka. Controlling the tempo and his greater consistency making Opelka work.
He's also a far better returner than Stefanos 😅
@@TaoChen100 did you watch stef and opelkas whole match? stef was returning really well actually
@@scottm.3901 Nono don't get me wrong he's still great, but overall career stats are telling. Clay helps Stef's return, gives him a bit more time
@italkcrab you got a point there. Still the big guys stats where a bit off in the final.
key is that danil has a two handed backhand, tsitsipas onehanded backhand return did not exist in the match , because it is almost impossible to return a kick serve bouncing 10 meters high on your one handed backhand
Medvedev is merciless with his consistency, kinda gives me vibes of Nadal.
ICE ON HIS VEINS, waaaaay less emotional then nadalm medvedev is a killer, him and his team, no expression, no emotions
nadal is like fire but medwie is more icy cold
Vibes of Djokovic for me
If Nadal is Scorpion, then Medvedev is Sub Zero, talking about consistency and defense
@@jefflo1487 no, Djokovic is way too emotional.
Medvedev has all Court game and deserves to be World No1 Tennis 🎾Player.
its honestly great to see opelka getting into the limelight like he deserves
Opelka has the ground strokes and serve. He just needs to develop more strategy and improve his net game. I like his chill personality.
I like Opelka, but not his strategies (poor shot selection, inadequate depth on his groundies, poor speed of foot, and too much reliance on running around his backhand (which is more consistent than his forehand) to hit the big forehand. All this in trying to beat the second best player in the world ("backboard Danil"). Meddy has no discernible weaknesses and ( barring injuries) should soon become #1.
Lol can’t move. Never win anything big
Djokovic would be number 1 till the day he humbly retires. Put some respek
If he can beat Tsitsipas, you must have a good strategy. I think he can display a good range of shot, for example he has also some nasty low slices.
@@ISI.O not sure what this has to do with this dudes comment but he won’t even be number one at the end of September lol
He's ready to face Joko in USO - I hope he gets his hands on the trophy.
YUP!!
So many young players today ignore the 2 shot pass. The best defensive players use the 2 shot pass almost all of the time. Medvedev is a master of this combination.
What’s the 2 shot pass?
@@ewan735
hitting passing shots with the intention of finishing in 2 shots instead of 1
first shot low and awkward to set up for the second easy shot
much safer than trying to hit an outright passing shot in the first shot
@@ewan735 watch the point starting at 7:14
@@Axel_Kidd I'm still confused. The passing shot was the winner but where does the two shot pass come from
@@fans-ed1td A passing shot is any shot (not a lob, or a direct shot to the body) that the player from the baseline hits against a player at the net. Like Lotus explained above, there were 2 passing shots, the first one cross court was not really meant to win the point, but it was low into the feet of Opelka, so that he had to reply with a weak high volley, which was then handled relatively easily by Meddy.
The first shot is meant to prepare it for the second.
Rarely do you see anyone play consistently as far back as Medvedev and still get decent depth on the ball.
Даниил , ты лучший !!!
Must say I really like Reilly. His self awareness, his tennis and personality over all. Whilst it’s nice he acknowledges “servebot” I don’t think he needs to dim his light as much as he does. Very good player for a man his height, he deserved to be in the final today. Great net game and massive forehand. Medvedev was too good today, his defensive skills are just amazingly good. Nice speeches from both. Love daniil’s interviews
What is servebot
@@Jp-cw8yh robotic serve
Medvedev's groundstrokeing so far behind the baseline combined with his hard court movement abilities meant Opelka had his points-off-serve, winners and forced errors cut in half. Medvedev might be the best defender of this generation
2nd best... A certain Serbian is the best of his generation
@@buggesej , Djock is from previous generation.
Даниил уже достоин большого шлема... смотреть на его игру...одно удовольствие!!! Может с третьего финала возьмет? МЕДВЕДЕВ ЧЕМПИОН!!!
Putin chujlo
@Ivan Petrov Putin chujlo
Good on Medvedev..very easy for him..his defense and shot selection is outstanding..Opelka is getting better and better..he is a no.1 player in tennis sport in the USA right now.
lmao because seb korda plays golf, stop praising players for a few good weeks, korda is the most promising american and he has quite a beautiful style. I really appreciate opelka's evolution and he seems to get better and better all round but he is clearly below Korda's level
@@Balabanovsky What? Aren't you happy on his progression? I tell you man if he spends more time on court practicing his serves, forehand and backhand strokes, keep pushing and digging, intense training. This big guy will be dangerous for years to come. He is a good at net considering his height and lethal forehand. I would like to see him much more competitive like the other big men Del Potro, Isner, Anderson etc...
I actually like Medvedev’s strategy of returning really far back. Seems to give him more time on the ball and it works!
Yeah, he watches where his opponent is then sends the ball off in a hard to reach place. great tactics against Opelka, as when he came forward to the net he had time to know where his placement shot should go.
Would it work against the Kygrios underhand serve?
j ah I I recall Kygrios doing it against him on clay and winning the point. It probably wouldn’t work every point
That was brutal. I love the unorthodox style. Im very happy for him. Opelka is a hard rival,he played so good
Shapovalov? Social media fanboy favorite. Rublev? Not even. Medvedev? An actual real deal, smart, consistently-good. He's like a classic era player with extra shots and relentless crispness. The rest of the crowd? Good here, and there.
Soooo happy Medvedev won 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Congrats 💫⭐ he has his sights on the number 1 spot ....getting closer, slowly but surely ✅
Great final. Well played to both.
Opelka might have lost, but I appreciate his serve and volley game. If he improves his footwork at the net and also his volley quality and placement, and shot selection, he could become really good. Congrats to Medvedev on the win!
Simply crazy incredible defence from Medvedev - looking really set up for the US Open
Поздравляем Даню с победой!!!
That match shows the difference between a future grand slam winner and a good tour player. Opelka has a good serve, powerful groundstrokes and decent net player, albeit limited movement. Medvedev has all that plus superior movement, superior serve returns and a superior counter attacking.
Medvedevs return is looking pretty good- First Isner and now Opelka both in straights!
Medvedev is truly a beast on hard courts......his defensive game and his movements are remarkable!!!😍😍
*If he could probably improve his clay court movements and shots he could be extremely effective in all courts......*
@Ryo Shusuke Give me proof that Dani was using steroids. Come on.
Ура! Поздравляю, Даниил!
Opelka is the evolution of Isner
He definetly is
I think so
Opelka is the evolution of loser🤣🤣
@@teragramlawrence2864 try to reach a Master 1000 final ;)
Truth
My favourite Medvedev ❤️❤️.... now looking forward to clinch Grand Slam trophies 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Daniil played flawless, consistent tennis and suffocated Reilly with his airtight defense. I was also really impressed with Opelka's backhand and movement. Congrats to you both.
Great tournament from the big man Opelka. But just sublime from Danii.
Opelka is improving so much his game, his short swings could take him to the top 10 for real. Great match for both.
Reilly hold your head up! You had an awesome week!! Keep improving and you can go far 👍🏾👍🏾🙂
Canadians really had an amazing tournament with some of the best games. Also medvedev shots when the oponent goes for the net are out of this world, so much accuracy.
Браво Даня!. Так держать!👍👍👍👍👍❤
Medvedev is 1m98 and the small guy.
He played far behind the line, intelligent strategy to counter player like Opelka, Isner ...
Good game strategy from Medvedev. On the return game he places the ball at centre court with not too much speed making difficult for Opelka to find angles and produce heavy strokes.
Great Performance by Medvedev ❤❤❤. He played phenomenal Tennis to lift the trophy 👍👍👍💪💪
Opelka's game style reminds me somehow of Del Potro !
Yes, a commentator recently referred to him as "the American Delpo"
@@wahn10 Oh this is the first time I saw him playing.
Medvedev's defense was off the charts, perhaps as good as that of Djokovic. Opelka eventually just sort of shrugged his shoulders.
Defensive Medvedev is one part Flash and one part Stretch Armstrong.
🤣
Jeez... Reilly played a nice match but Medvedev was really stunning. Incredibile anticipation and defense
The question is how long can you be that good against Opelka. He is rising fast.
But if anyone can be that good it has to be Medvedev.
A great player like Medvedev (and most consistent after the big 4 era) deserves to have his talent/work be translate into big title numbers. Wishing him to be the next new GS champ (whenever that is)
Omg, Opelka just 23 years old. My Dad looks younger than him. Good player, a great career ahead for him.
His game is off the charts… good luck danii for the US open
congrats for Medvedev for wining another title he is just to good going for every ball the defence is amazing to watch
Against any other player in this tournament this performance from Opelka would have won him the title. But Meddy is a different breed. Props to both players, it was a great final.
This Guy is Gonna be number1 he's level is incredible💯💯
I thought so too earlier. But in AO final, he fizzled out against djoker in quick straights.
@@noguruespanol that had more to do with novak's game
Blah blah blah yh yh yh yh haven't we all heard that before🤣🤣🤣
@@noguruespanol he crushed Novak in US open..all he needed was experience in such moments
When Medvedev raises his hands in apology, it means "sorry I'm so damn good".
Flawless from semifinals onwards.
Him his coach his wife. Zero smiles when he won.
I feel like Toronto is the first time this year that Medvedev has shown why he's No.2 in the world. The consistency, the anticipation, the ability to turn a defensive shot into a lethal winner. Man he's so fun to watch when he's at his best!! US Open let's go Medvedev!!
Opelka is just 23 years old,with his power and his positive attitude he will be big beast .
Dani is my favorite, glad that i found one already while being part of Nolefam. A lot of Novak fans will move to Dani in future :)
Danila CONGRATS! It s big fun to watch your smart choice for shooting spots.
Medvedev was a clean favourite at the start and he has done it with ease
Amazing match!
Daniil : I love playing on this surface！
Браво, Данечка! Мы любим вас!
Opelka reminds Delpo forehand ..
Medvedev is getting magical.
Wow opelka almost had it, with that break point in the second set. He could’ve turned that into a 3 setter with a strong tiebreak
Opelka would still be down a break
Medvedev never brought out his A game, it was never meant to be for Opelka
yea, and I could be the President of the States with some luck :)
Dude what? Lmao you gotta be joking I mean medvedev dominated this match. Opelka could bArely hold serve
Bad shot selection on the drop shot at that point, I think he could have stuck to one more punch shot then an approach to the net as he was controlling the point. The drop shot was kind of sloppy but unfortunate.
"almost had it" means making one more final push in a game mid set, during a match wherein one is dominated completely? lol okay
Daniil is amazing !!
Молодец Даниил!
the hard court season after wimby is truly Medvedev's house. he's playing amazingly good at us open series and indoor hard courts. he won Cincy and Shanghai in '19, reached uso final also,in 20' he reached the semis of uso, won Paris and WTF. like u know he's gonna win something big. I root for him at uso. a real threat for Djoker.
Good going my man!!!!!!!!!!!
As Robbie Koenig would say "Opelka ran down the ball like a lanky giraffe on amphetamines. But the Russian bear was even faster" 😅
I believe Daniil will be the first to win a Slam, ahead of Tsitsipas and Zverev
I agree.
@Dwilshire7 you can make some good comments also. That’s true, I agree absolutely. Stef better get his shit together soon or else…….he can pick up gardening 😂😂😂
It will be Medvedev or Zverev for sure. One of them will win this US Open or the next Australian Open.
U were right 👏👏👏😂
If Medvedev plays like this, he’s winning the US Open
Zero chance VS Novak.
he can't beat novak in best of 5.
He's winning the US Open if he doesn't have to play Djokovic, but we all know Djokovic will be there at the end.
He will win.
He has a chance..
Danils face is like I know I'm going to win😂❤️
Was watching live in the stadium yesterday :)
4:38 what a duo of forehands
So incredible!!
Good game !
Opelka is improving .
He's putting it all together....US Open will be very interesting.
2:40 how'z it even possible ???
Brilliant
Medvedev i love you❤️❤️❤️
That's already on Tennis Tv Bro!!
Congrats Daniil
Now we all know who will be the next No. 1.
don't be so sure.. He is one of the best in hard court, but he is behind Stefanos on clay.. He needs to improve on clay
@@georgiosinfa7962 Clay is 1/4 of the points in the race to No. 1 (aprox. numbers).
@@miguelbarahona6636 I know..If he was on clay as good as he is on hard he should have been very close to Novak at the time. Stefanos is very good on hard too, but he needs to level up his game on grass. I believe all 3-4 next gen players are one level behind Daniil, and I speak about Thiem, Zverev and Tsitsipas at the time.. I don't know if and when Rafa is coming back in form.
@@georgiosinfa7962
Hard court : Djokovic , Medvedev, Zverev
Clay Court:Nadal, Djokovic, Tsitsipas
Grass Court: Djokovic, Nadal, Berritini
Medvedev was in is flow. Nothing could stop him after hurcazk
Medvedev looking like future number 1 ! Opelka potential top 10 material.
I know Medvedev hasn't even won a US Open yet. But I want him to dominate and own the US Open like Djokovic did at the AUS Open, Nadal at Roland Garros and Federer at Wimbledon!
Fed is not dominating at Wimbledon any more.
@@minhvienvo5360 fed might not even hve the most Wimbeledon when all 3 retire
