On June 28, Wimbledon 2021 will officially start. With 2nd place on the World ATP rankings, Daniil Medvedev is ranked No. 2 seeds and receives a lot of expectations. The Russian tennis player also had a perfect momentum for the third Grand Slam of the year when he won the Mallorca Open championship.
Before coming to Spain, Medvedev suddenly lost from the opening round of Halle Open. However, he quickly corrected with a series of impressive performances at Mallorca. On the journey to the final, the world's No. 2 player overcame Corentin Moutet in the second round, the No. 5 seed Casper Ruud in the quarterfinals and seed No. 4 Pablo Carreno Busta in the semi -finals.
Last night, in the final against Sam Querrey, Medvedev continued the triumphal song. Entering Set 1, the Russian star had a bad start when he lost to the game 1. However, he gradually regained the game and played more and more. The turning point came in Game 7 when Medvedev excellently won the break, then quickly ended Set 1 with a 6-4 victory.
Set 2, everything becomes easier with Medvedev. He won the break right from the first game and played completely compared to Querrey. Coming to Game 7, the world's No. 2 player continued to win the break-point, thereby defeating the opponent with a score of 6-2 gap.
In the end, Medvedev won 2-0 and officially crowned the Mallorca Open championship. This is also the first title of the Russian tennis player on the pitch. Earlier, his 10 championships came to the hard ground.
Crowned in Mallorca, Medvedev had a very satisfied momentum before Wimbledon. The Russian star said that he is having a high confidence on the path of conquering the first Grand Slam title in his career. In the first round of Wimbledon, Medvedev will face Jan -Lennard Struff – who eliminated him in the second round of Halle Open.
