He makes opponents suffer all right. And like Klacr says, he has an excellent tennis IQ. It will be interesting in the final how Zverev handles that flat, hard ball coming into his forehand. It is typically low-bouncing and you would hazard a guess Zverev really won't like that. I think what goes most unnoticed about Medvedev is his phenomenal ball control. It's comparable to Connors, who could play hard and flat and hardly ever sprayed a ball more than an inch over the baseline.
Zverev did remarkably well against Rafa in some of their longer, gruelling rallies, and he will need to be at that same level against Medvedev. I think Medvedev really believes in himself much more than Zverev, though Zverev is showing signs of gradually maturing.
