“I’m not a favourite, but I want to play well. I can be dangerous if I go back to my level. It’s a dangerous surface for my body and I have problems every year, so I’m not 100 years old.” Medvedev said 6-2 7-6 (5) after losing to Richard Gasquet as world champion #75 at the preseason tournament in Switzerland.
“I don’t play my best tennis on clay, but I know I can get good results like I’ve done in the past. But for that I have to be ‘in the zone’.” I don’t have as much confidence on clay as I do on other surfaces, so I lost 7-5 in the tiebreak. It was disappointing, but I’ve had harder defeats in my career.”
Medvedev is now heading for Paris, where the second Grand Slam tournament of the year will start on Sunday. Medvedev has reached the final of the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam tournament of 2022. Rafael Nadal proved to be very strong in five sets.
Last year, 26-year-old Medvedev reached the quarterfinals at Roland Garros with his best result. Until last year, he had never won a draw in Paris.
