“One game was not enough for a record. It’s really upsetting. Will there be less pressure now? No, I’m really upset. Once I won 20 games in a row. 20 or 21 if I’m not mistaken. I think 20. It would be cool to break a record to keep the streak going for as long as possible. It’s nice to have streaks like that under his belt, of course. Unless you play six ATP-250 tournaments in a row. But it is rare. Yes, I’m disappointed with how it ended. But this series gave me confidence. Last year I missed that. Sometimes I made it to the finals, in Cincinnati I was in the semis, I played well, but not good enough for the semis. Now I managed to win 19 matches in a row. I’m proud of it. Now we have to build a new There is no other way in tennis,” Medvedev said in the post-match press conference.
