Eliminated in the semi-finals of the Acapulco tournament by a very great Rafael Nadal, Daniil Medvedev will be able to console himself this Monday by becoming world number 1 for the first time in his career. Asked, at a press conference in Mexico, who he is going to steal the place from, the Russian once again paid him a nice tribute.
“Novak is telling the truth. Every time I’ve achieved something, and not just me, you can see that for a lot of players Novak is always congratulating everyone. To be honest, we all know sometimes – I know this better than anyone – that we’re all competitive. So sometimes during the match there can be something with the fans, with the opponent, with the referee, with anything, with the balls, I don’t know, anything. And he can sometimes get very angry at times. Maybe when he was very young, I don’t know. But I don’t think, at least when I arrived on the circuit, I invite you to find a single match, where after any match with Novak speaking ill of his opponent, and not congratulating him. That’s how he is. »
