Head-to-head statistics Medvedev - Nakashima
Daniil Medvedev Player Overview
Medvedev isn't fond of playing on clay. He has reached two finals and claimed one title on this surface. The Russian excels on hard courts, but finds clay to be quite challenging. However, Madrid's relatively fast surface suits Daniil better, making it more comfortable for him to play there. In the Spanish capital, he advanced through two rounds, having played just one match. Laslo Djere withdrew from the tournament, allowing Medvedev to move straight into the Round of 16, where he defeated Cerundolo 2-0 in just one hour and three minutes. Daniil is managing his mindset well in this tournament, fully aware that no one expects top-tier tennis from him on clay, which allows him to relax a bit.
