Russian tennis player Daniel Medvedev explained why he reacted emotionally to the quarter-final episode of the Indian Wells tournament against Rune Holgera when the Dane sent the ball towards his body.
During one of the games at the beginning of the second set, Medvedev, who was at the net, hit the ball sent to him by Rune, after which the Dane sent it into the opponent’s half. Medvedev stayed at the net and gestured to keep an eye on Rune. After the match, the tennis players chatted at the net. The match ended with Medvedev’s victory with a score of 7:5, 6:4.
“It would be nice if what happened at the site stopped there.” I didn’t see him apologize. It’s no problem if the ball hit me, it can happen. In such situations, tennis players usually apologize. I didn’t see that. I got angry and the judge told me he was sorry. I don’t think there is a sequel to this story.
I have nothing against Holger. Like I said, I just didn’t see him apologizing, you know? “I think when you apologize, they usually forget it right away,” Medvedev said at a news conference.
In the semi-final of the tournament, the Russian will face the 17th racket in the world, the American Tommy Paul.
