“Alexander played very well. Especially in the second set. I played a good match when he served for the set. And then I managed to make a difficult game on my serve.
Overall, I’m happy with my level, because it’s hard to come back from an injury. You try to start playing your game right away, but it’s not that easy. I am happy that I managed to beat such a strong opponent,” Medvedev said on the court after the match.
