Similarities between Medvedev and Djokovic?

[Lew II]

Are there similarites between Djoko and Medvedev in the game and in the personality? His balanced game, his attitude towards the crowd...

I like him. I think he'll be my favourite player once Djokovic retires.

When did you become a tennis and Djokovic fan out of intrigue?

I think he's slightly more similar to Murray, minus the variety, plus the big 2nd serve...

I miss good old Lew threads full with data, statistics etc. and a classic "Discuss!".

He embraces his villain role. Djoker is afraid to.

He embraces his villain role. Djoker is afraid to.

He backtracked on that and said he has to become a better person on the court.

Both are tall, thin and get to a lot of balls. Mad-Med has room to improve (at the net and serve) which is scary for the rest of the field.

Both lost their first Us Open Final vs Nadal

They’re both East Europeans.

They both have that pronounced elbow bend on their forehand finishes which makes their forehands look similar. That said Medvedev has an even uglier FH which is saying a lot. Rest of their games aren't similar.

Both agents of The Soviet State ?

The greatest similarity is their defensive-backhand prowess.
But Djokovic has the greater forehand, while Med has the greater serve.
Djokovic is a lot more often closer to the baseline, while Med varies his position frequently.
