Athletistic / Tennis. Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev (third racket in the world) commented on his participation in the semi-finals of the ATP-500 tournament in Beijing (China). Furthermore, he praised his opponent in the quarter-finals, Frenchman Hugo Humbert (36th in the world rankings).

“Humbert has very strong shots. Hugo can make a lot of winning plays in a game. I really don’t really understand what to do to put him in a difficult position, unless he’s having a bad day. If he didn’t have such days, then he would definitely be in the top 5 in the world now!

It’s very difficult to play with such an opponent, he is extremely dangerous. In my opinion, with such a game, Humbert is capable of beating anyone. The question is how stable he himself will be throughout the season. Being in the top 30 is already very good, but he has the potential to be in the top 10 or even better,” Medvedev said, as quoted by Univers Tennis.

Medvedev managed to beat Humbert in just three sets, winning with a score of 6:4, 3:6, 6:1. Daniil’s opponent in the semifinals of the tournament in the capital of the Middle Kingdom will be Alexander Zverev (Germany).
