Daniil Medvedev unabashed: “I definitely played better, I know what to do against Sinner”

The statements of Daniil Medvedev

È a light-hearted Daniil Medvedev the one who comes to the post-match press conference against Alex de Minaur: “I changed something in the equipment, something I usually do not do during a tournament" – tells the Russian, who then starts the show. "I tried to go into the match without thinking about the result, winning or losing did not matter: I feel sorry for de Minaur becauseé, by doing so, I played 26 times better than in the’debut!”".

A result indeed clear-cut compared to the expectations of the eve, which puts everything in question as far as the fate of Jannik Sinner in the round is concerned, to whom a victory against Fritz would not be enough to mathematically pass the round already today. It will be decisive, in any case, on Thursday, the challenge between the world No. 1 and Medvedev himself: "I won’t come up with much different from the last few times for the match against Jannik" says the No. 4. "I know what to do tactically, although I have already lost to him many times lately. I’m ready to go and play my tennis: if I lose easy it’s fine, if I win easy it’s even better. If I lose a tough match it is fine, if I win a tough match è perfect".

On Sunday Medvedev couldn’t wait to go on vacation, today who knows’.
