Here’s a look at the Libema Open 2022 final preview between Daniil Medvedev vs Tim van Rijthoven which will take place on Sunday, June 12th.
Daniil Medvedev struggled in his semi-final encounter against Adrian Mannarino even though he won it in straight sets. Medvedev hasn’t dropped a set in the whole tournament. The Russian began his campaign in the Netherlands with a 7-5, 6-4 win over Gilles Simon and then battled past Ilya Ivashka 7-6 (10-8), 6-4 in the quarterfinal. Although this is Medvedev’s second tournament since his return from Hernia Surgery, he has looked like he is getting back to his best.
The Dutchman is playing his maiden grass-court tournament on the tour but the 25-year-old wildcard made extraordinary progress over the week. Starting with a straight-sets win over Australia’s Matthew Ebden, Van Rijthoven then stunned the third seed Taylor Fritz 6-7 (9-11), 7-5, 6-4 in the second round. He then breezed past Hugo Gaston in straight sets in the quarterfinal, before getting his victory over Auger-Aliassime on Saturday to book his place in the final.
