Daniil Medvedev Dominates Attila Balazs at the 2021 US Open: Match Highlights and Analysis

Daniil Medvedev is a running train that hits the unfortunate Hungarian Attila Balazs with a harmful 6-1 6-1 6-0. The 2021 US Open champion is devastating on the central player with bursts of winners (40), with 8 aces and 86% of points on first serve and without allowing break points. A competitive workout of just one hour and 14 minutes.

Absent last year due to the terrible injury, but a 2020 finalist in a tournament in which he has been a protagonist for many years now, Alexander Zverev restarts from the triple and peremptory 6-4 6-4 6-4 to the Australian Aleksandar Vukic, who is number 50 in the world ranking, but he doesn’t even reach a break point against a Zverev with 13 aces and 86% of the points won with the first serve.

It’s not the year of Diego Schwartzman, who was 8th in the world in his career and here in New York has played two quarterfinals in the recent past. The Argentine, with only 4 matches won this year in the Slams, capitulates in the first round of his worst US Open at the hands of the Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech, Berrettini’s next opponent: 6-3 6-4 6-2.

We didn’t expect Karen Khachanov to star in her first singles match after Roland Garros. And indeed the Russian number 11 in the ranking, who returned after a three-month break, came out in three quick sets under the blows of the American Michael Mmoh. 6-2 6-4 6-2 the score that allows the American to book the second round against one between Isner and Diaz Acosta. Cameron Norrie ahead without problems: the British prevailed 6-3 6-2 6-2 over the Russian Shevchenko: he will find Kokkinakis or Hsu in the next round.

He gives the impression of having fun like Andy Murray in his last tennis life. And the furious Frenchman Corentin Moutet is the ideal opponent to field all that is left of virtuosity in the body and mind of a great champion who lifted the cup here way back in 2012. It was an era ago, that of Federer , Nadal and already by Djokovic, and that Murray won us against Slam and Olympic Games.

Today he is Sir, he has a hip prosthesis and still really wants to play. In his seventeenth New York edition, Andy Murray beats Moutet 6-2 7-5 6-3 and achieves his 200th Grand Slam victory – eighth all-time behind Federer, Djokovic, Nadal, Connors, Agassi, Lendl and Sampras – with a final yellow card: a double bounce that does not exist on the Frenchman’s long recovery, but «what you see on the monitors is only a television replay and cannot correct the – wrong – call by the referee».

It will be an almost vintage second round between Murray and Grigor Dimitrov who plays Murray, recovering Molcan from two sets to zero and 2-5 in the fifth until the super tie-break: 6-7 (9) 6-7 (5) 6 -1 7-5 7-6 (9). After two consecutive defeats at the American Masters 1000 in Toronto and Cincinnati, Andrey Rublev returns to success against the still immature Frenchman Arthur Cazaux: 6-4 7-6 (5) 6-1 for the Monte Carlo champion.
