Medvedev rages: "Così favored Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz"

Daniil Medvedev è lashed out after his Shanghai match won in three sets against Matteo Arnaldi: in the Russian’s sights were the balls used for the tournament. First the former world number one used irony, writing at the end of the match on the cameras "beautiful balls" then in the post-match interview he elaborated on his position, sending a clear message to the ATP.

According to Medvedev, the balls "favor tennis players who can take advantage of the power of inactive balls. Some have this quality, others do not. Actually; the two best players in these conditions are already the best players in the world, and I am sure they would be even without these balls".

"But with these balls, they are the only players who can generate crazy power. I’m talking about Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz".

"This gives them an added advantage. I try to fight with what I can, I try to get this power, which I have never had since I was young. I am fighting and I hope to improve".
