“I can’t speak about what other players say, nor can I force them for them to say anything If others do not want to raise their voice, that is their position. Mine is the same, I support peace, there’s not much more I can add.”

Medvedev commented that he does not know how the public will respond to his presence on the court and said that there are tournaments in which they support him more and tournaments in which they support him less. “I follow the rules and I am very happy to be able to play a tournament that I love this year.”
