President of the Russian Tennis Federation Shamil Tarpishchev in a conversation with a correspondent, he commented on the release of the world’s third racket Daniel Medvedev in the semi-finals of the Masters tournament in Rome, noting that the Russian is now in good shape.
In the semi-finals, Medvedev will face Greek Stefanas Tsitsipas on May 20.
– Obviously, Medvedev has become much better at playing on clay compared to last year. This pleases in the context of the fact that the tournament of the Olympic Games will be held on clay. The task now is to recruit technical and tactical actions on unpaved surfaces. In terms of game quality, it looks good, but due to the fact that there are many different shades on different surfaces, there are some things you need to work on.
Functionally, Medvedev is now in one of the best forms of his career. Does not get tired, recovers quickly. We are satisfied, but you can improve your whole life. It’s good that he’s up to it. As for his prospects at Roland Garros, I wouldn’t call him a favorite just because of the Masters result. There is a great dependence on our opponents on the pitch, among them there are a lot of uncomfortable ones. Therefore, a lot will depend on the draw,” Tarpischev told a correspondent on the sidelines of the Russia-Islamic World International Economic Forum in Kazan.
