ATP > Medvedev: “When Djokovic arrived on the tour, we said: ‘this guy is young, he’s not going to achieve much compared to Federer and Nadal’. Over time, he proved everyone wrong”

During the media day when the players were asked to speak about their own opponents, Daniil Medvedev, still as prolific, launched into a short speech where he paid a nice tribute to Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

« I always thought that Rafa, Novak, and Roger were the best tennis players in history. And people around me say to me: “Rafa is finished” with all his injuries, I’m sure you hear that too (Editor’s note: speaking to these colleagues) and Rafa has proven this wrong many times. When Novak arrived on the tour and there too we said: this guy is young, he will not achieve much compared to Roger and Rafa And there too, he proved everyone wrong. That’s why I admire them and that’s why they are the greatest champions of this sport.
