Daniil Medvedev honest about Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz
Daniil Medvedev spoke at a press conference in Beijing, where he will make his debut in the ATP 500 with Gael Monfils: “Every year everything changes. I remember that the last one we played è was Indian Wells, which è is a bit special. & It's slow and difficult to play. Before that there was Rotterdam 2019, which è was a long time ago. It will be an interesting match against Gael".
The world number five could face Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals: "We both come from the Laver Cup, so we have to win the first matches. It won’t be easy with jet lag and all that. Usually we prepare with more time. So now the preparation è short. Playing against Carlos is not è easy, especially when he è in shape. I saw him when we played at the Laver Cup. He was playing well. We will have to put him under pressure".
"Whatever tournament I play, I want to win,” added the Russian tennis player. “If I want to win the tournament, I have to give my best from the first to the last match. It won't be easy. But that è the goal. The draw? When Sinner and Alcaraz play, you know you are not the number two seed, you know it will be tough. In the semifinals you will have to play against one of them, if it gets there. However I will tryò to improve my level step by step and hopefully I can show good tennis".
"Honestly è it was a very good experience. I know I was the only one on the team who got zero points. Everyone got at least one. But that's okay, è that's why it's a team competition. My team won, so thatì " Medvedev commented on the Laver Cup.
