The third racket in the Russian world Daniel Medvedev praised compatriot Mirra Andreeva for the game, calling out the 16-year-old tennis player’s incredible actions on the court.
Andreeva in the third round of Wimbledon will play with Russian Anastasia Potapova (22nd seed).
We didn’t talk much. When I see her, we greet each other or congratulate each other for winning games. What she is doing at 16 is simply amazing. It’s one thing to play good tennis, it’s another to win games in a row. There have already been many tournaments where she qualified, crossed the main draw.
At a young age, you can create sensations, you can beat top players, but it’s very difficult to go far. Mirra seems to be a very big talent right now. I hope she can continue to play in the same spirit, go further and further in Grand Slam tournaments, Masters and other serious competitions,” Medvedev told a press conference.
He also stated that the Romain Safiullina in the fourth round of Wimbledon was not a big surprise for him.
Romain is a great talent. At the start of his career, he wasn’t very lucky with injuries. I think that might prevent him from becoming, shall we say, a permanent resident on the ATP Tour.
But now he succeeds. Incredible victory over Roberto Bautista-Agut in the first round. Crazy match, I watched two sets. Happy for him. I hope he can do even more. He’s not in my half of the table so I don’t have to think about it too much,” added Medvedev.
Medvedev in the fourth round will play with Czech Irzhey Legechka, Safiullin’s opponent will be Canadian Denis Shapovalov.
