It's so nice listening to Meddy - always classy, but also incredibly funny in the right moments 😉

Daniil's celebrations are legendary. He should think about making a dance catalog for just winning Tsitsipas 😂

Meddy never looks like he's moving that fast, but he somehow always arrives at balls that would normally be winners. He's got that sneaky speed.

Daniil must win his second major, i need to see his celebration

Daniil Medvedev is a unique and precious existence in the tennis tour

How can you possibly not like big Med! Already a legend. Brilliantly unorthodox on the court and equally as brilliantly unorthodox off it. Intelligent, articulate and charismatic. Thank God he's in the mix as a top elite tennis player as it would be much duller without him. Hope he can win another few Slams in his career.

He know Prime Thiem was Beast

We want more Medvedev!!

Loved how he appreciated these players while keeping own things aside😍😍😍😍😍

4:37 Octopus dance 😂😂😂

Perfect responses from one of the best player personalities in the history of tennis

My list: FH: Federer BH: Wawrinka Serve: Kyrios Return: Nole Slice: Federer Net game: Federer Touch: Federer Speed: Alcaraz Flexibility: Nole Mental: Nadal Competitiveness: Nadal Celebrations: Nole

We love the way you run and celebrate too Meddy! 😸🥳🏃‍♀️

Pretty good choices, especially the backhand from Thiem- so enjoyable. Also chosing players who are not top 10 is very objective, especially for the shots he selected! Suprisingly humble, if it was Zverev, he would have put himself in there in most shots :)

giving a lot of players shoutouts, along with backing himself up as well. top bloke this mate

Mental toughness will always be novak hands down. Dude been playing against players and crowd all the times and sometimes even the commentators are against him. Yet he proved how great of a player he is

Did not expect the Steve Johnson pick for slice backhand!

major respect for including kyrgios and fed multiple times

My picks👇 FH- Nadal BH-Djoker Serve-Kyrgios Return-Djoker Slice-Federer Net game-Federer Touch-Alcaraz Speed-Alcaraz Flexibility-Djoker Mentality-Djoker Competitiveness-Nadal Celebrarion-Medvedev

Forehand - federer and fernando gonzalez (big mention for del potro and nadal) Backhand - djokovic and wadrinka (big mention for agassi and nalbandian) Serve - sampras and roddick (big mention for federer and isner) Return - djokovic total fully (big mention for federer and nadal too , big 3 especiality) Slice - federer total fully ( big mention for dimitrov and berretine .. they really have a great slice) Net game - federer total fully( big mention for sampras and alcaraz) Speed - de minaur and young nadal( big mention for alcaraz and medvedev) Flexibility - djokovic total fully (big mention for alcaraz and de minaur) Mental toughness - djokovic and nadal ( big mention for murray and sampras) Celebration - djokovic and medvedev (no big mention 😂😂)

You gotta love Meddy. Big Bear is a great tennis player. Love watching his surgeon like strokes.

Meddy is my favourite of the new gen

You could put Novak for 2 handed backhand and Mental toughness also.

It‘s all time… so here‘s my list: FH: Gonzalez BH: Wawrinka Serve: Becker Return: Djokovic Slice: Federer Net Game: Edberg Touch: Alcaraz Speed: de Minaur Flexibility: Djokovic Mentality: Djokovic Competitiveness: Nadal Celebration: Borg

FH: Del Potro BH: Djokovic Serve: Isner Return: Djokovic Slice: Federer Net game: Edberg Touch: Federer Speed: Alcaraz Flexibility: Djokovic Mental: Djokovic Competitiveness: Nadal Celebrations: Medvedev

I really like how he mentions thiem's backhand! thiem's OH backhand is one hell of a shot

Pretty solid calls. I hope you get your Australian open next year Daniil..!

Updated list for me: FH: Alcaraz, Nadal BH: Djoker, Wawrinka Serve: Kygrios, Isner Return: Djoko, Nadal Slice: Federer Net game: Federer, Alcaraz Touch: Federer, Alcaraz Speed: Monfils Flexibility: Djokovic Mentality: Djokovic, Nadal Competitiveness: Djokovic, Nadal, Murray Celebration: Medvedev, Nadal

I agree with this video.....he's quite accurate. Well done Medvedev!

Daniil: I'll put myself in there

#1. someone who can hit a down the line sitter on set point in a grand slam final.

loool the speed one cracks me up, his running is class

I love this series, definitely continue it with other players!

Here my list: Muscles: Nadal Overhead: Djokovic Grunts: Alcaraz Hair: Federer Running: Andy Murray Fashion: Wawrinka Serve: Diego Schwartzmann Speed: Ivo Karlovic Mentality: Fabio Fognini Competitiveness: Benoit Paire Phone bill: Ben Shelton Ideal player....Tsitsipas

I like that he says he is perfect in certain aspects of the game that he chooses himself as the perfect player in these aspects like running and celebration. Great acknowledgement and self-esteem but far away from being arrogant.

Danny boy is always the best interview on the tour. He’s so insightful and bright

Sounds like the ultimate player. Yet somehow I get the feeling Novak would still find a way to beat him 😂

FH - Federer BH - Safin Serve - Kyrgios Return - Djokovic Slice - Dimitrov Net - Federer Touch - Alcaraz Speed - De Minaur Flexibility - Srichiphan Mentality - Djokovic Competitiveness - Benoit Paire or Bernard Tomic Celebrations - Meddy

I’d prefer Daniil than Alcaraz as well, Medvedev shots better when running

Would have been mad funny if he said Shelton for celebrations.

Bro loves his octopus run

My picks👇 FH- Del potro BH-Nalbandian Serve-Karlovic Return-Djoko Slice-Federer Net game-Federer Touch-Federer Speed-David Ferrer Flexibility-Djoko Mentality-Djoko Competitiveness-Nadal Celebrarion-Medvedev

Danill is nature/ ❤

My perfect player: Fh: Roger Bh: Djoker Serve: Kygrios form and versatility with Isner’s pure raw power Return: Djoker Slice: Roger Net Game: Roger and Alcaraz Touch: Alacaraz Speed: Alcaraz and Monfils Flexibility: Alcaraz and Djoker Mental: Nadal and Djoker Competitiveness: Djoker and Mcenroe Celebration: Meddy

He is very humble..him and Alcaraz will be my bet once Nole retire

Love him

I'm surprised he chose feds and Nick for net game after what novak just did to him at us open haha. Love you Daniil.

My 2 cents: Forehand -> Federer (Honorable mention: Nadal) Backhand -> Djokovic (Honorable mention: Wawrinka) Serve -> Sampras (Honorable mention: Federer) Return -> Djokovic (Honorable mention: Agassi) Slice -> Federer (Honorable mention: Evans) Net Game - Sampras (Honorable mention: Federer) Speed -> Alcaraz (Honorable mention: Alcaraz) Flexibility -> Djokovic (Honorable mention: De Minaur) Mental toughness -> Djokovic and Nadal (draw) Celebration -> Medvedev (Honorable mention: Monfils)

Maybe cause I was born in 1980 & watched live many matches of the 2 great returnerners of that era i got other opinion of who is the best returner in history of tennis. Btw one of those 2, was my idol growing up- Yevghenii Kafelnikov! Actually after i saw live how he got through to the final and won a GS at Roland Garros 1996 (1st GS in Russia's history) i got hooked completely to tennis😏 Before, it was only football/soccer. So as i mentioned Kafelnikov was a great returner, but he was considered the 2nd best in the world in his era, so the nr one 20-30 y.ago and by my standards the greatest returner, was Andre Agassi. And behind that statement is a lot of proves, cause from the mid 80's till mid 00's there were a lot of big guys, around 2m height, playing serve & volley. If we talking only about speed serve, guys like Rusedskii, Krajicek, Ivanisevich, Philipouses even young Roddick etc, they constantly served 215km/h+, So just to return their 1st service was an achievement, but to do it with "interest" was almost impossible, but Andre somehow was doing it. And of course serve & volley players🎉, who after 1st serve just run to the net (Medvedev's nightmare) like Tim Henman, Patrick Rafter, Boris Becker & of course the greatest rival of Agassi - Pete "pistol" Sampras! To outplay Sampras in the 90's was as hard as defeat Novak today! But Agassi did it on multiple occasions, and of course his return of Samprases crazy serves were crucial! So my pick for best returner is Andre Agassi!

2:56 I love the way I run. Who wouldn't🤭

2:54 thats true

Te amo Daniil

1st serve - Karlović 2nd serve - Sampras Forehand - Federer 1hnd backhand - Thiem 2hnd backhand - Djokovic Return of serve - Murray Lob - Murray Footwork - Djokovic Volleys - Edberg Dropshot - Ferrero Slice - Federer Mentality - Djokovic Trick shots - Federer Running forehand - Sampras Fighting spirit - Nadal(not same as mentality) Fitness - Federer Versality - Djokovic

I could agree with this except I would put Novak for mental toughness without a doubt. Rafa is definitely in a close second, but Novak has showed throughout his career that despite all the adversity that he has had to overcome he is the king of mental toughness and fortitude. Saving match points 3 times in grand slam finals against the second greatest player of all time? That’s the epitome of mental toughness! But Rafa is definitely second.

Forehand: Sinner Backhand 1h: Stan the Man Backhand 2h: Korda Serve: Kyrgios Return: Djoko Slice: Dan Evans Net: Cressy Touch: Alcaraz (dropshot touch) Speed: Tommy Paul Flexibility: Djoko Mental Toughness: Djoko Competitiveness: Djoko Celebration: Bublik/Meddy

i like that a pro player mention Thiem' s backhand ! i always said that it' s underrated

I think that was an accurate and honest assessment by Medvedev.

He is so sweet

Love you Meddy !!

To be honest if you combine Federers forehand and touch, Sampras serve and netplay, Djokovic Backhand, return and mental toughness, Nadal speed, agility and strength with the popularity of Agassi and you have the perfect player

FH: Fernando Gonzalez BH: Wawrinka Slice: Roger Serve: Sampras Return: Nole Volley: Roger Touch: Santoro Speed: Alcaraz Flex: Nole Mental: Rafa/Nole Competitiveness: Nole Celebration: Peter Griffin

Mostly correct! The only things i might change: backhand 1H Wawrinka 2H Murray or Novak (instead of Thiem) , Touch: Monfils (instead of Moutet), Speed: Monfils or Hewitt in their prime (instead of Medved)

Does anyone know the name of the song that plays at the end of the video?

I'd go: FH: Federer BH: Nalbandian Serve: Ivanisevic Return: Djokovic Slice: Murray Volley: Edberg Touch: Federer Speed: Nadal Flexibility: Djokovic Mentality: Nadal Competitiveness: Djokovic Celebration: Wawrinka

the MAGIC TRIO of tennis history legend (rafa novak roger) it's in the deep...

Great players are often great students of the game as well.

FH: fernando gonzalez BH: benoit paire (2 hand) and federer (1 hand) SERVE: john isner RETURN: novak djokovic SLICE: alexander dolgopolov NET GAME: nicolas mahut TOUCH: benoit paire & alexander dolgopolov SPEED: gael monfils FLEXIBILITY: gael monfils & novak djokovic MENTAL TOUGHNESS: rafael nadal COMPETITIVENESS: novak djokovic CELEBRATION: danil medvedev & serena williams

Love how he kind of low key roasted Steve Johnson.

My picks👇 FH- Federer BH-Djokovic Serve-Kyrgios/ Federer (insane placement and accuracy) Return-Djokovic Slice-Federer Net game-Federer (not even close in my opinion) Touch-Alcaraz Speed-Prime Nadal (he was doing as much as alcaraz if not even more ) Flexibility-Djokovic Mentality-Djokovic/ Nadal but Djokovic is higher because of some of the matches he won down multiple match points is amazing Competitiveness-Nadal Celebration-Medvedev

Mental toughness it has to be only one Novak Djokovic..

my favorite celebrations were always from Isner. He was so tall he had to pause his emotions to carefully get to his knees so that the full fall to the court didn't cause injury.

Best second serve: "Zverev interrupts to put himself in there"

medvedev taking his celebration and is crazy 💀

I actually don't particularly like the way Medvedev plays, in terms of the game, but get him in an interview, and I think I would love to have a beer with this guy.

Forehand - Nadal Backhand is Wawrinka. Serve - Nick Return - Novak Slice - Federer Touch - Federer Speed - Medvedev Mental tough _ Nadal Flexibility - Novak Net game - Federer

Speed, why nobody takl about monfils? He's such incredible

FH-Federer BH-Wawrinka Serve-Roddick Return-Djokovic/Agassi Slice-Federer Net game-Sampras Touch-Federer Speed-Nadal Flexibility-Djokovic Mentality-Djokovic Competitiveness-Nadal Celebration-Wawrinka (finger pointing at the head)

Serve; Sampras Return; Djokovic Forehand; Nadal Backhand; Federer Speed; Monfils Anticipation; Djokovic Volleys; Nadal Touch; Murray Determination; Djokovic

Djoker is my pick for mental toughness , Daniel picked Rafa coz of those Grandslam losses against him in US and australia.

the 'I've got nothing left' empty pocket celebration is golden.

Mental toughness is djokovic, vs crowd

Medvedev says the truth. Everyone must agree

Smart choices, would make a couple tweaks though "IMHO" (before the fanatics come after my life) Forehand I'd give to Rafa. Roger a very close 2nd, even Verdasco infact. Mental toughness I'd have to give to Novak due to external factors and his mind boggling upliftment in pressure points. Albeit if Novak is the benchmark at 100%, Rafa is like right behind at 95% I'd say. Rest of the tour doesn't even come close.

Nick serve was really on point I don't understand despite playing against many players and winning match with such a incredible talent how he is not in rop ranked players?

should have add post match press MEDVEDEV🤣

Forehand: Nadal Serve: Karlovic Backhand: Novak Return: Novak Slice: Roger Net game: Roger Touch: Roger Speed: Monfils Flexibility: Novak Mental Toughness: Novak Competitiveness: Novak/Rafa Celebration: Medvedev

What about drop shots?

And now it's my turn, a random KZfaq commenter. Forehand --> Del Potro's pure canon, Runner up --> Ruud's hybrid whip forehand form is a beauty (mixture of Rafael Nadal's spin and Djokovic's Stability), Honorable mention --> Kyrgios Backhand --> 2 hander goes to Djokovic, 1 hander goes to Wawrinka's pure canon Serve --> Fed. Return --> The Djok. Slice --> Dan Evans, and Me. At Net --> Fed. Touch --> Dustin "Dreddy" Brown Speed --> De Minaur, Alcaraz Flexibility --> Medvedev Mental --> Djokovic Competitiveness --> Alcaraz, Fed Celebration --> Med.

I would pick Roger for forehand, Novak for backhand Roddick for serve Nadal for passing shot Roger for slice Novak for return Roger for net Novak for toughness Nadal for anything on clay 👑

Very good Meddy....

Medvedev looks younger here

FH: Rafa or Roger BH: Wawrinka Serve: Sampras Return: Agassi or Djokovic Slice: Roger Net game: McEnroe Touch: McEnroe Speed: young Rafa Flexibility: Djokovic Mental toughness: Rafa Competitivness: Rafa or Djokovic Celebration: Idk

I like his choices, but I'd have to go Wawrinka for backhand, Alcaraz for touch, Nadal net game.

There’s just one problem with a perfect player Med picked.. Djokovic would still beat that perfect player 😀😉🤙

Lob: Murray. Drop: Alcaraz.

Wise words from the hard court soecialist!

“He only slices” 😂
