Although he made it to the third round of the last Grand Slam of the season, Russian Daniil Medvedev is not satisfied with his game so far.
-” I am not completely satisfied with the level of my game. Also, sometimes it is very inconvenient to play late at night. You wait for the match all day. Normally I like evening matches, but at the beginning, it can be a bit awkward. I think it was more difficult for him in that sense. I have experience in this, I have already played such matches several times before, while it was maybe only the first or second for him. He didn’t get off to the best start.” – began Medvedev and continued:
- “Generally, I am satisfied with my game in the third set. Eventually, I got better. I won in three sets. I tried to finish as soon as possible. I’m looking forward to the next round.”
The Russian was asked who is the favorite for the US Open title?
–” I don’t want to put pressure on anyone, but I think Rafa is also a big favorite. He won the last time he played me here. He won two Slams this year. I think Novak is better on grass, but Rafa didn’t play. He actually hasn’t lost at a Grand Slam this year. He retired, which is not the same. In my opinion, Rafa is a great player, not to say a great favorite. He is certainly an important figure in this tournament, although there are other good players. It makes me happy when I see my name among the favorites because it means I’m playing good tennis. This gives me the motivation to keep trying,” Daniil Medvedev concluded.
