“The objective in tennis is to place the ball in the exact place”

Daniil Medvedev, current world number two and last champion of the US Open 2021, has dialogued with the medium Central Court about one of the most discussed topics around him: his technique.

“Honestly speaking, my technique is something that I don’t care the least bit about. Two days ago I was with Igor Chelyshev (one of his first coaches). I was curious and asked him how he played when he was a child, I didn’t remember very well. . He told me he was just throwing balloons and running all over the track. “ stated the Russian in the interview.

He also expanded: “It is clear that my shots from the back of the court are much more powerful, as well as my serve, but I still have this ability to place the ball in the right place and at the right time. If I do it, the technique does not matter. Nothing. Technique doesn’t matter. The goal in tennis is to get the ball in the right place and at the right time. Nothing else matters. “

So far this year, the Russian has won four trophies: Marseille, Mallorca, Canadian Masters 1000 and the US Open. He also registers a total of 50 victories in all of 2021.
