Gilles Cervaracoach of Daniel Medvedevhas carefully prepared the strategy so that his pupil can overcome the obstacle that Carlos Alcaraz in today’s semifinal. The French coach made his assessment of it: “I don’t want to talk about the game but it is undoubtedly a great challenge for us. Daniel He is not the favorite and we will do everything we can to win the number one. It will be difficult. We are going to prepare this match as best we can to be in the final on Sunday.”
cervara remember that the last game was very favorable for the Murcian: “alcaraz He is a great player and it will be difficult for us. The last time they played alcaraz he kicked his ass, so we’ll have to be much better. I hope we prepare our strategyto be better and win”.
The French coach praised the ability of Medvedev to adapt to all surfaces: “He is one of the best in the world, so the best are capable of playing in all places, of finding solutions, of adapting to any game. And Daniel He’s got a type of game he can do it with.”
cervara added that although Daniel has not played in Central this year, he will know how to manage it: “Everything counts, so it can be important, but when you are a great player, when you are a champion, you have to be ready to adapt to any situation.

I think it was his first year on tour, first year on grass. It was not a problem for Daniel, but as I said, it was another player. And though he was very young, you could already see alcaraz that he was growing up and that he had a lot of weapons. It was only a matter of time and that time has been very short.”
