Command Analysis
Daniil Medvedev
Russian FederationMedvedev started his performance at the Canadian Open with a hard-earned victory over Alexander Bublik. The Russian tennis player lost the first set to Bublik but fought back and turned the match around (4-6, 6-3, 6-4). This was a rather unconvincing opener from the World №2, and Medvedev needs to focus and get a grip if he wants to go further at this tournament and protect his ranking.
James Duckworth
AustraliaDuckworth has already won four matches in Toronto. The Australian started with two qualifying rounds, where he first defeated Ilya Marchenko (6-1, 6-3), and then ousted Peter Polanski (4-6, 6-1, 6-2). In the main draw, Duckworth comfortably defeated his opponents in straight sets: both Taylor Fritz (7-6, 6-3) and Jannik Sinner (6-3, 6-4) are out of the tournament, and Duckworth is as confident as ever.
