Is Daniil Medvedev going to the 2021 Wimbledon tournament with a sense of achievement? The Russian is still missing a win to win his first grass event on Mallorca. Medvedev defeated Pablo Carreno Busta in the semifinals of the ATP Tour 250 tournament in Santa Ponca with 3: 6, 6: 3 and 6: 2. In the final on Saturday there will be a meeting with either Sam Querrey or Adrian Mannarino.
Carreno Busta had enormous problems maintaining his service in the first game of the match, Medvedev missed several chances to break to 1-0. And immediately afterwards gave his opponent one himself. The local hero served the sentence with some difficulty. Runs two and three followed the exact reverse pattern. Now it was Daniil Medvedev who took the lead early with a break. And did not give it up until the end.
With a view to his draw at Wimbledon, the second in the world rankings will need self-confidence. Because like in HalleWestfalen, it's against Jan-Lennard Struff. And he was able to defeat Daniil Medvedev for the first time in a tight game a few days ago.
