Athletistic / Tennis. The third racket in the world, the Russian Daniil Medvedev, spoke about the leader of the world ranking, the Serbian Novak Djokovic.

Medvedev explained which Djokovic trait he appreciates the most.

“It was a funny story. We trained with Novak. He told me: ‘I’m playing the Davis Cup in a few days.’ He asked me if I was going. I said yes. Then he invited me to go with him.

I am generally shy. I initially refused, saying that the federation had already purchased tickets. And then I thought maybe I should agree. At the end of training, I asked if it was possible with him, he said yes.

Commentator Dmitrieva spoke about Medvedev’s fourth-round exit at the Australian Open

Not everyone knows this trait of Novak. He can be tough on the pitch, just like me. When we first met, I was ranked 400th in the world rankings. Now I am already the third, I was also the first. But his attitude towards me has not changed. Yes, we have become fundamental rivals, but his attitude off the field has not changed. And I like that about him,” Medvedev said at a press conference.
