Russian Tennis Federation (RFF) Vice President Alexei Selivanenko told that the Russian tennis player Daniel Medvedev did not show the result expected of him at the Paris Olympics.
Medvedev was defeated in the third round of the Paris Olympic tournament on Wednesday. The Russian, who was seeded fourth, lost to Auger-Alassime (seeded 13th) with a score of 3:6, 6:7 (5:7).
— The result is not what was expected. A balanced game, everything depended on the nuances. Daniel visually lacked energy, but Auger-Alassime took advantage of it. It happens that one did not show his best tennis and the other did the opposite.
— How can you assess Medvedev’s performance in the tournament overall?
“I think he expected more.” It is necessary to evaluate each match individually, the first ones he scored on skill, today it was not enough. Daniil will evaluate himself,” Selivanenko told .
In the quarter-finals, Auger-Alassime will face the winner of the match between Casper Ruud (Norway, 6) and Francisco Serundolo (Argentina).
Earlier, Medvedev completed his performance at the Games in doubles with Roman Safiullin and in mixed doubles with Mirra Andreeva. The Russians lost both matches in the first round. Medvedev was also the last Russian representative in singles at the Olympics in the French capital.
