Swings the bat in a very special way: Daniil Medvedev Image: Reuters
Russian Daniil Medvedev is an intelligent tennis professional, but thinks he’s crazy. Opponents like Alexander Zverev get sweaty hands when they encounter his sharpest weapon.
The worst thing for Daniil Medvedev is if people from outside give him tips after losing tennis matches. The 28-year-old revealed this a few days ago on the sidelines of the tournament in Indian Wells. In the final, the Russian, ranked fourth in the world, had no chance against Carlos Alcaraz.
The first sentence was still close. He lost the second 1:6. There is said to have been a scene in the players’ restaurant that upset Medvedev terribly. A player’s coach came to him and advised him to play more offensively in the future and to be more courageous in certain net attacks. Medvedev simply replied whether his name was Stefan Edberg.
