A wound-up Daniil Medvedev has inflamed his well documented gripes with clay court surfaces in an extraordinary post-match rant at the rolandgarros. 7NEWS
But the enigmatic and often fiery Russian was just happy to say goodbye to another clay court season.“I’m happy again. Doesn’t matter; one time quarters, one time fourth round, a lot of times first round.
Medvedev’s recent tremendous progress on the slowest surface counted for nothing on a windswept Court Philippe Chatrier, where the Russian seemed increasingly frustrated, arguing with the umpire and the fickle Paris crowd over a line call in the fourth set. “I tried to use my forehand against his and it worked pretty well. I started cramping at the start of the second set but I used my mental strength to play my best tennis.”
“But great for him to play like this. I honestly hope he’s going to play like this later on, because if not, I’m going to be disappointed. I’m going to be like, ‘why today? Why not in two days?’”
