Russian world number five Daniel Medvedev said he enjoys performing in China because of the special attitude of local fans.
On Tuesday, Medvedev lost to Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals of the ATP 500 tournament in Beijing.
– Difficult match because I felt that I played very well. There were a lot of positive moments for me. At the same time, it’s very difficult to play with Carlos when he’s at his best. So yes, I had a good match, but I lost. This doesn’t happen to me often.
I love playing in China, I love the Chinese fans. It’s probably one of the few places in the world where they love me.
Honestly, it was a fun match. Besides, I rarely say something like that after a defeat, but it’s true: I had fun. I’m looking forward to what’s next. I told Carlos that in the next match I would dye my hair blonde and write here “Botik” (van de Zandschulp, the last tennis player to beat Alcaraz – note from ). Maybe this will help,” Medvedev said at a press conference.
