Russian world number five Daniel Medvedev said he stopped accepting gifts from fans because of superstitions.
– Let’s call it superstition, but for some time I no longer accept gifts. I know that here (in China – approx.) this is considered crazy, because it contradicts the local culture. So I take a few, but it depends on when and how it happens.
In Beijing, a guy gave me handwritten Chinese characters, I didn’t know what it meant, but he explained to me that it was for good luck. They were very beautiful and it was clear that he painted them himself,” Medvedev said in an interview with Tennis TV.
On Friday, the Russian tennis player will play the second round of the Shanghai Masters against the Brazilian Thiago Seyboth Wilde.
