<p>Like everyone else, Daniil Medvedev has relished the burgeoning rivalry between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, but he recently declared his intention to crash their celebration at the US Open and take the other side this week.<img decoding=”async” class=”alignnone wp-image-146912″ src=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/theindiaprint.com-cut-off-for-general-category-in-bihar-teacher-recruitment-exam-2023-is-likely-to-be-6065-experts-download-2023-08-26t175519.427.jpg” alt=”theindiaprint.com cut off for general category in bihar teacher recruitment exam 2023 is likely to be 6065 experts download 2023 08 26t175519.427″ width=”1288″ height=”671″ srcset=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/theindiaprint.com-cut-off-for-general-category-in-bihar-teacher-recruitment-exam-2023-is-likely-to-be-6065-experts-download-2023-08-26t175519.427.jpg 311w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/theindiaprint.com-cut-off-for-general-category-in-bihar-teacher-recruitment-exam-2023-is-likely-to-be-6065-experts-download-2023-08-26t175519.427-150×78.jpg 150w” sizes=”(max-width: 1288px) 100vw, 1288px” title=”'Great for tennis,' according to Daniil Medvedev, who plans to play a disruptive role at the US Open 3″></p>
<p>The past five Grand Slams have been won by world number one Alcaraz, the reigning champion in New York, and number two-ranked Djokovic, a 23-time major champion. These victories have raised anticipation for a potential U.S. Open clash in the championship match.</p>
<p>The 2021 U.S. Open winner told reporters on Friday, “I believe it’s excellent for tennis that we have these two men playing against one other right now.</p>
<p>It’s a fantastic narrative, but once the tournament begins, we’re going to attempt to defeat them and prevent them from playing each other. By “we,” I mean either myself or another person.</p>
<p>“I don’t think about it consciously. I just strive to succeed. The most crucial item is that. But intuitively, I feel like I played this character well quite a few times. I’m hoping it will benefit me this week and the next two weeks.</p>
<p>The 27-year-old Medvedev has triumphed at Rotterdam, Doha, Dubai, Miami, and Rome to earn five trophies this year. The Wimbledon semifinals last month saw the third-ranked Russian in the world lose to eventual winner Alcaraz.</p>
<p>The U.S. Open champion from two years ago, Medvedev, who defeated Djokovic in the final, said, “I think that’s normal we talk about them.”</p>
<p>“I believe we still discuss me. Although I don’t feel too awful, I’ll attempt. I’m going to strive to accomplish the aim of having us speak about me after this U.S. Open.</p>
<p>I was able to play one of, if not the finest, matches of my life two years ago. I want to attempt it once again.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, Medvedev will launch his campaign against Attila Balazs of Hungary.</p>
