Athletistic/Tennis. The third racket in the world, Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev, spoke about the match with Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in the 3rd round of the group stage of the 2023 ATP Final Tournament in Turin (Italy). The Russian has already secured his place in the semi-finals of the competition.
“First, it’s normal that Zverev supports me in the match against Alcaraz. He just wants to advance. But now I don’t know all the scenarios. Surely, if I win against Carlos, then it will be better for Alexander. So it’s Normal, if I were him, I would think the same thing.
I will do my best to beat Carlos. But it’s not easy. Turin has a fast pitch, so it could be an interesting match. The moment you relax and say, “I guess you can’t push yourself too much in this match,” you can lose your rhythm. Tennis doesn’t forgive that.
Last year, Novak played a grueling match with me. After that, he might say, “Okay, I’m going to lose this time, because I’m first anyway.” ” But he did not do it. I think that’s a great example for me. On Friday I have to do everything in my power and try to win,” Medvedev said at a press conference after the match against Zverev.
Daniil Medvedev won two victories at the start of the ATP final tournament and will definitely participate in the playoffs of the “Red” group. Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz are fighting for second place. Another Russian Andrei Rublev will definitely not be able to reach the semi-finals of the tournament.
