ATP Finals, Medvedev goes on vacation: “Sinner this year never loses”

“I challenged Nadal, Federer, Djokovic and Murray when they were maybe a bit more’ in l’ with the years, but they were pulling less hard than Sinner”. Words and music of a smiling Daniil Medvedev, who despite the defeat was much more calm and cheerful than one could have imagined.

Sure enough, his wish è was finally granted: to go on vacation. He said so at the beginning of the tournament and he will certainly be glad now that, for him, the season è has come to an end. “I give a 6.5 overall to my year: I didn’t win a single title, but there are still so many good memories to take home”, said the Russian in the post-match conference.

Asked if he was not tired of facing Sinner, who for the first time since the beginning of their rivalry” è was ahead in direct comparisons with Daniil, the Russian joked: “The first time I didn”t have him in my quarter, in Bercy, I lost in the first round and then he” withdrew: never once that happens against me!”, laughing with gusto.

“Practically this year Jannik doesn't lose: if you want to win a tournament you have to face him sooner or later. It's not easy to beat him: many try and many fail, there's only one – Alcaraz – who succeeds a little more often than the others. In Arabia he surprised me a lot, I did not think he had such a high level in him!”, Medvedev said again.
