Daniil Medvedev v Evgeny Donskoy Head to Head
The pair have met once before, in the first round of the US Open last week. Medvedev won that encounter in straight sets.
Medvedev Back on Home Soil After US Triumphs
Medvedev is back on Russian soil after a triumphant US hard court season which saw him reach four successive finals in major tournaments – in Washington, Montreal, Cincinnati and the US Open. Although the only event he won was the Cincinnati Masters, the biggest title of his career to date, that sequence has propelled him to a new career high of four in the world rankings.
Moreover, the way he fought back from two sets down to Rafael Nadal in the final in New York gives promise that there will be other Grand Slam opportunities to come for the 23 year-old, and that, one day soon, it will be his turn to lift one of the major trophies.
He will be keen to prove to the Russian public this week that they have a future major winner on their hands.
