Tampa Bay has a very cool playoff game and have developed a five-win streak. However, hardly anyone could have expected that the first match of the series with the Islanders would be like this. Let us remind you that Lightning won over their rival with a crushing score of 8:2 and after the starting twenty minutes it was clear that they could not be stopped. By the way, Braden Point had an outstanding match and scored two goals and three assists. The opponent often broke the rules, whereas John Cooper’s wards skillfully took advantage of this three times. In general, the team has now found its balance both in defense and in attack, so it will be difficult for its opponent to adapt to this style of play.
Let’s be honest, Medvedev was lucky with the tournament grid. On the way to the quarterfinals of the competition, Daniil has not yet played with serious opponents. In the first round the Russian confidently dealt with the profile dirt coat Federico Delbonis (6-1, 6-2, 6-4). In the second round the US Open had no particular problems with Christopher O’Connell (6-3, 6-2, 6-4). Then the Russian dealt with the young American Jeffrey Wolf (6-3, 6-3, 6-2) in a calm manner and beat Francis Tiafoe (6-4, 6-1, 6-0). Recall that Medvedev is last year’s US Open finalist and Daniil is sure to repeat that achievement. There are two matches left on the way to the final, namely the upcoming one against Rublev, and, most likely, the fight against Dominic Tim, who is the favorite in the quarterfinal pair with Alex De Minaur.
