“It’s actually very tough. One moment I could feel he didn’t move that well. It’s always tricky because you wanna play more points to make him suffer a bit more … in a good way.”
Medvedev’s Ruthless Tactics:
The audience chuckled at Medvedev’s candid response about Sinner’s difficulties. Sometimes, being ruthless is necessary for victory, and Medvedev used every opportunity to gain an edge over the Italian in challenging conditions.
Fans might think this shows just how determined top players need to be.
Sinner responded with aggressive play after his struggles began, something Medvedev had anticipated and navigated skillfully. The match was grueling, but it highlighted Medvedev’s resilience on the ATP Tour.
“At the same time you know that he at one point is gonna say ‘ok I can’t run anymore. So I’m gonna go full power.’ And that’s what he did. He had set points to win the 3rd set. In a way I’d maybe prefer to not have this situation. Everything is well when it ends well. So I’m pretty happy.”
