Shelton -1.5 Games 1st set @ +470
Medvedev’s game isn’t as effective against Alcaraz compared to the rest of the dudes on tour. He’s playing excellent and all but Alcaraz doesn’t have the lack of weapons that most players do in order to beat Medvedev. Alcaraz can not only hang with Mwd, but he can run em all down and make the winners. Plus Medvedev’s deep court defence leaves him prone to the drop which Alcaraz is very good at disguising and isn’t afraid to use. Unless Alcaraz is off, I think Medvedev would be lucky to get more than a set here.
Sheltons serve is a big enough gun to keep even Djoker at bay. And Djokovic has one of the greateat service games ever. Should be a tight first set, maybe a tiebreak.
Shelton didn’t look nervous playing Foe in the QF’s at Arthur Ashe during prime time. He came out fired up. Focused! Going for it and completely unrattled. It looked to be like youthful, joyous, naivety. The perfect weapon in this scenario. Not sure if it’ll be the same against Djoker, but he obviously has that sense. He’s not spraying rally balls outside the doubles lines now and he’s confident. There’s no reason this match doesn’t start out 4-4 and the scoreboard pressure combined with difficult receiving games leads to a break. It favours Shelton to falter due to inexperience but it could also be Djoker against the unfamiliar lefty mega cannon. I’ll take 5:1 on this as I think the first set is closer to a coin flip. Excitement, talent and the crowd are on Sheltons side.
With all that said, Medvedev Could win 3-0 and Djoker could serve Shelton a Bagel in the first. I’m tryin’ to tell the future here and it ain’t easy.
