In the second round of Rotterdam, Italy's Bellucci defeated second seed Dmitry Medvedev 6-3, 6-7(6), 6-3 to advance to the quarterfinals.
In the whole game, although Medvedev issued 9 aces, however, there were 8 double faults! The first-serve goal rate is only 57%!
In the first set, facing Italy's Bellucci, who had just reached the top 100, Medvedev was not adaptable, and was quickly won 6-3 after being broken. In the second set, Medvedev won several break points, but Bellucci managed to save them. Fortunately, there was no mistake in the key ball in the seventh game, and he narrowly won 8:6. fell asleep in the third set, I don't know why Mr. Mei was broken again and was ruthlessly swept out of the game 6-3.
Medvedev's mistakes are sometimes outrageous. In the second set, there was a chance ball in front of the net, and Mr. Mei quickly came to the net, but put the ball on his side!
Mei always played very tangled throughout the game, frowning, constantly sorting out her clothes and pants, almost incarnating Nadal.
On the other hand, Bellucci, a 23-year-old (2001.06.01) player, was extremely relaxed on the field and smiling. It is worthy of being born on Children's Day. His silhouette is sunny and handsome, but the smile on his face is a little "evil".
Medvedev has had a bad start to the 2025 season. Before the Australian Open, the second child was welcomed, the family was proud, and the court was disappointed. He was also out of the second round at the Australian Open:
Rotterdam is the second race of the new season, and the form is still not satisfactory. Or in the face of post-00 players, they lost their domineering? Both rounds of the Australian Open were against post-00 players and played two five-set battles. Arriving in Rotterdam, he also played three sets in both matches, winning 6-7(8)/6-4/6-1 against Wawrinka in the first round.
By the way, let's take a look at this picture:
Medvedev straightened his shoelaces during a break, tightening them one by one, and finally found that the head of the shoelace was broken and could not be worn through the last hole anyway. The staff had to bring a pair of scissors ✂️ to enlarge the hole in the shoe, and even helped themselves, but to no avail.
In the end, I had to change my shoes...... [Laughs]
In the face of post-00 players, especially the new generation of post-05 players, Medvedev's style of play should be changed. This also needs to learn from Djokovic, keep forging ahead, keep improving, in order to stand on the tennis, which is constantly developing, progressing, and changing.
