Medvedev is capable of beating Djokovic I think. Tsitsipas probably is too but I'd be worried about him physically and how he'd cope with the pressure.
I dunno, I see Medvedev melting down against his consistency wall. I really hope Medvedev wins though. I love nutters.
It's going to be difficult. As you mentioned, her top level is only about the 4th or 5th highest level in the WTA now. If the likes of Osaka are on their games, she's going to find it difficult to progress.
Nadal should win the French which would put him back up by 3 slams. I don't see Djokovic closing the gap unless he takes 2 slams at the very least, this year.
At Wimbledon Novak and even Roger (assuming he's fit) will have a great chance. For the younger players (+Thiem) it seems like grass is their worst surface.
I'm more concerned about Federer
but him losing his spot is pretty much a done dealI agree. Not because he's a young gen who doesn't have the mentality to win a slam (he's already proved that he can stick with the top 3 at times) but because it doesn't suit his game. The bounce is too low for him to wind up his backhand. Wimbledon has got to be a difficult slam for him.
Unfortunately, it appears that you're right. He had a few pivotal matches which would have swung that count towards him. 40-25 at Wimbledon 2019 was a travesty. As was the donated slam final against Del Potro the 2009 US open. Lots of opportunities, and a lot of them were on a plate. 2014 US open is another that comes to mind. Cilic and Nishokori back to back is not a difficult semi/final combination.I'm more concerned about Federer
Don't remind me of 2019. It ruins me
Jesus
Yeah Djokovic is the favorite due to history but Medvedev is a huge threat. I actually think Medvedev is the final opponent Djokovic would have least wanted.
Yeah poor crowd. I head someone shout double fault at one point just before Medvedev served in the opening two sets.
His antics at the US Open in 2019 were brilliant.Hahaha he might as well have given the crowd the finger. I like Medvedev more and more

Yeah, but in a few of the finals he’s won in recent years he’s been the worse player overall but the better player at all the moments that really count. Federer at Wimbledon in 2019 is the best example of that. I think he can win by playing way below his best and that’s a massive issue for the rest of the field.
Yeah noticed that too, I was almost dissappointed after reading about all his antics..
How so? If he's the second seed he may draw Thiem (and not Djokovic) in the SF. If he's the third seed he may draw Djokovic in the SF (and not Thiem). I find it difficult to see anyone one other than those 3 winning RG, and Nadal will still be favorite. If any think those seeds would be worse for Novak as he'd likely have to beat Nadal and Thiem back to back to win it.
Nadal has broken everyones will to take him on at the French, if hes fit and ready to go, hes winning it whatever the draw.
