Russian world number three Daniel Medvedev said that every player dreams of becoming an Olympic champion, but noted that Grand Slam tournaments are a more important event in tennis for him.
Medvedev competed in the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. The Russian reached the quarterfinals, where he lost to Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta. The winner of the Games was the German Alexander Zverev. Medvedev is the winner of the US Open (2021).
— When I participated in the Tokyo Olympics, I really wanted to play well, and after losing in the quarterfinals, I was very disappointed. I felt very bad for a week, which doesn’t always happen to me after losing matches.
So it is a very important event that every player dreams of winning, but Grand Slams, in my opinion, have the advantage and are more important in tennis.
Grand Slams, Olympic Games, finals, all this is important. These tournaments are the same because when you are there you feel the “wow” factor. To win them, you have to be at your best. It will be a huge victory if I do this. This is their difference from other tournaments,” Medvedev said in an interview with Eurosport.
