“I heard that in Barcelona they were saying that Rafa was not the favorite for this tournament. However, in my opinion it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter what form Nadal is in or how he feels when he steps on the court, especially on clay. It doesn’t matter whether the match is played on hard court or on clay, you still have to be vigilant. Everyone still remembers how he can win 80 matches in a row or do something like that.
I didn’t see the match because I was playing at the same time, but I found out that Rafa spent two hours on the pitch and won. This may mean he feels better. He is still dangerous. We’ll see how he performs in the future, but it would be great if he plays even better. It will be interesting and will cause difficulties for other players,” Medvedev said at a press conference.
