Athletistic/Tennis. President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RFF) Shamil Tarpishchev expressed his opinion on the defeat of Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev in the semi-finals of the ATP-500 tournament in Dubai (UAE). In this match, the Russian lost to Frenchman Hugo Humbert, 18th in the ATP ranking, with a score of 5:7, 3:6.

“It’s not that scary. Moreover, considering the injury and the recovery period, Daniil returned to the game not long ago, and it always takes time to restore the rhythm of the game. Moreover, the Dubai tournament is not a priority,” TASS quotes Tarpishchev.

Medvedev’s next tournament will be the Masters in Indian Wells (USA), which will be held from March 6 to 17. In 2023, the Russian tennis player reached the final in Indian Wells, where he lost to Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz with a score of 2:6, 3:6.
