Currently, the best tennis player in the world, Russian Daniil Medvedev, recalled the match with Novak Djokovic and the long three sets.
Now at the very start of Cincinnati, a match against Botic van de Zandschulp awaits him.
-” I certainly want to win as many matches as possible to increase my confidence before the US Open. However, let’s go match by match. The draw is full of good players, sometimes someone retires, someone else is tired of the season, maybe not in the best shape. When I look at the draw, even the first round match looks very difficult,” says Medvedev and adds:
Danil won Cincinnati three years ago, and defeated Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals.
-” I have fond memories of this tournament, I played the best matches there, starting with the quarter-finals, then through that match with Novak, where he had a set advantage. Great. That’s why I like to come here. The tournament has not changed compared to three years ago. I like the atmosphere, I’ve always played well here, I hope I will this time too,” Daniil concluded.
