G.O.A.T.
As a Thiem and Zverev fan I am beginning to fear this guy more and more.

Yes, Dom took him out at USO (where he had looked dominant). But I honestly think Thiem got lucky and caught him on bad night.

Zverev has looked helpless against him in last four sets.

Tsitsipas not good enough on HC to stop the bulls$$$ RAAShan!

I say Medvedev will win at least 5 HC slams. He may take over as dominant AO player after Nole fades...

Sinner may be the only guy that challenges him.

How have your other predictions worked out for you?
 
Medvedev's record in HC slams, by the way: 1st round (2017), 2nd round (2018), 4th round (2019) and 4th round (2020). This is the guy that's going to be "dominant at the AO" after Djokovic retires?

Did you watch USO 2019? Guy fought Rafa like a beast.
Nobody in this generation can stop him on HC. Maybe Sinner will but I cannot see any other obstacles. He WILL win WTF this week!

4-5 because he's only good on hard court. He's trash on clay and he's yet to show any sort of grass consistency so i don't see him doing well there for a couple of years at the very least.

What do you think of his match against Goffin at Wimbledon 2019?
Can the Russian become a real threat against his opponents on grass?
:cautious:

Man I don't know. The guy is so good at not really looking great, but being great (at least to my eyes). He already has 3 M1000 titles and a major final, which constitute very promising results in this day and age, so yeah I think he's got at least 2 major titles in him.
 
Can do damages on a slower hard court like AO. Not sure if he has big enough weapons to win quicker cheap points once his body starts running downhill.
 
He relies a lot on his serve (which will stay with him a long time) and his wheels (which won't)
His game style is very unforgiving and he suffers a lot when he's even a bit off

That being said, he should be a threat for at least the next 4-5 years, and it would surprise me if he didn't grab a title here or there. Maybe 2, 3. I don't think he'll win 4 or more, but who knows.
 
He's crazy good when he's on. He's the embodiment of NextGen tennis and the evolution of tennis players - taller and a bigger serve, but still a brick wall of baseline defense with good movement. I don't know how competitive he can eventually be on clay or grass but he's a top threat at the HC slams for sure.

Curious to see the Medvedev Sinner rivalry. They will surely be making the semis and finals of every hardcourt slam. Zverev will be in the mix too.

I don't really think Zverev will be in the mix as much as Sinner, Tsitsipas, Medvedev or Thiem. Maybe it's wishful thinking but I just don't think Sascha is as good.
 
He ain't winning Roland Garros, and he doesn't seem all that happy on grass either even though I think his big serving, flat hitting game should be pretty well suited to it, so that pretty much narrows it down to two. US Open seems almost a given on account of his performances the last two years there, and he seems to be growing into Australia too. So... A few? I'd like his chances of being a multiple winner at this point more than the other more erratic members of his generation.

Med might become the next Murray because of his physical style. Don't see him lasting in his 30's.
 
2 or maybe 3 at the most. There are others besides the big 3 who can challenge him, and guys like Sinner who are improving rapidly and can definitely give him a run for his money. I like watching him and find him amusing, but he needs to do better off hard courts to really make a statement. He’s 24 now and should be at his peak. Look how long it took Thiem to win one and it was a scrappy one that took an absence of the big 3 to do it. I see Medvedev the same way, a strong and steady player who will be a threat, but not always a force. No one will want to see his name in their draw and if all of the chips fall his way, he can certainly win a trophy or two.

Agree with all of this.

We used to say that Djokodal wouldn’t play well into their thirties, using same argument.

Medvedev is the ultimate pusher (with a 135+ mph serve). When he is on his game, with his 6'6" reach and good quickness, he chases everything down and just gets it back deep into the court. Eventually the opponent gets frustrated, then starts overhitting and missing a bunch of balls. Exactly what happened to Djokovic yesterday.
 
If he builds on what we have seen, he can win loads. Djokovic has shown this style of play wins you grand slams. He’s a difficult player to beat because he keeps getting balls back.

Djokovic realised yesterday he couldn’t beat him from the baseline so started going for the lines more and lost out. So lesser players will have a hard time if Med continues his development.
 
Maybe a couple USOs and AOs. If he plays like he did in the 2019 USO then he'll definitely win his share, but besides that, he he's sorta underperformed at majors so far. He choked against Thiem and Wawrinka this year in the two HC majors.

I don't see him ever turning into a threat on the "natural surfaces" though as he can't move well at LL on clay but is also too prone to being served off the court on grass.

He was outplayed thoroughly by Thiemrinka.
 
Many, this guy is actually legit. He's very consistent and unlike Davydenko (who was also consistent) he's consistent and has very good power. Davydenko and Ferrer were known for their consistency but they never had any power to turn anything into slam wins. Djokovic is consistent and has power and control. But the baseline for keeping up with the top elites is to have that consistency. That's why well Rublev isn't my favorite. But Jannik Sinner is also someone to watch. I like how he's not even peaked and he has great potential to match play against the top elites. That's how much potential this young italian has.
