Daniil Medvedev vs Alex De Minaur: US Open 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Daniil Medvedev faces a crisis of confidence, evident in recent losses to Christopher O’Connell and Sebastian Baez. He’s in search of a morale-boosting victory to regain his momentum, hampered by subpar preparation before the New York tournament. Departing from his usual routine, the former world #1 stayed active throughout the clay and grass phases this year, resulting in fatigue during the North American swing and leading to lackluster performances. Excluding the pandemic-disrupted 2020, Medvedev hadn’t missed a North American swing semifinal since 2017, dominating the region with four consecutive finals in 2019 and his first Grand Slam title in New York in 2021. Despite recent setbacks, he reached championship matches at the Indian Wells Masters and Miami Masters this year, with one win. His streak of reaching at least the US Open semifinals from 2019 to 2021 ended in 2022 with a round of 16 loss to Nick Kyrgios.

Alex de Minaur’s impressive run continued in the third round, where he dominated Nicolas Jarry, a formidable server in excellent form this year. Earlier, he secured convincing wins against Timofey Skatov and reigning ATP Dallas champion Yibing Wu. De Minaur, Australia’s top-ranked player, has faced criticism for struggling in high-profile events, notably the round of 16 in Grand Slam tournaments, where he holds a 1-4 record. However, in 2023, he has shown significant progress, winning the Acapulco title, finishing as Queen’s Club runner-up, and achieving a rare victory over Daniil Medvedev at the Toronto Masters, his best result at the Masters level.
