US Open: Dominic Thiem Playing As Consistently As The 'Big Three', Says Daniil Medvedev

News 18  

Playing Dominic Thiem at the moment is like facing some of the game’s all-time greats, Russia’s Daniil Medvedev said after the Austrian beat him on Friday to reach the US Open final. Thiem, an Australian Open finalist earlier this year, beat the third seed 6-2 7-6 7-6 to set up a final with Alexander Zverev after the German rallied to beat Spain’s Pablo Carreno Busta in five sets. Both are seeking their first Grand Slam title, but Medvedev said Thiem’s performance was such that he felt the Austrian was playing at the same high level and consistency as the ‘Big Three’ of the game – Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. Everything is there.” Medvedev acknowledged he was disappointed not to be in a second successive final at Flushing Meadows – he was beaten in five sets by Nadal last year – but said he would quickly move on from the loss as he did not feel he could have played much better.
