Arnaud Clément on Daniil Medvedev: “He accepted clay and he worked”

“What inspires you, to see Medvedev win a Masters 1000 on clay?
I find that extraordinary. In particular in the acceptance of the specificities of this surface, which is not natural for him. Today, something else is happening. It’s a new page for him. He wins on earth by beating specialists. It’s unexpected and I think it went quite quickly. I did not expect that. He accepted clay and he worked. For twelve days he was very regular. I found him very calm while he can be hot-blooded. And, to keep his mind clear, he was able to find some very interesting tactical solutions.
