The disappointment was easily read on the face of Daniil Medvedev after his defeat in the final at Bercy against Novak Djokovic. But his trainer, Gilles Cervara, surely consoled him by reminding him of the New York game two months ago. As he did in front of the press, in comments collected by L’Equipe.
« Fortunately, we won the final that we had to win (smiles) », played down the French coach.
The final of the US Open will indeed remain an important moment in the history of tennis. Daniil Medvedev prevented Nole, author of a breathtaking season, from achieving the calendar Grand Slam. But from now on, it will also be necessary to remember that the Serb took his revenge, a few weeks later, in the final of a big tournament and by developing a tennis quite new for him. The pride of the champion.
