Daniil Medvedev will be replaced at number 1 on Monday and will admit that he is motivated to go to the Miami Masters and try to regain the top spot. Medvedev, who replaced Novak Djokovic at No. 1 on February 28, suffered a shock to Indian Wells in the third round against Gael Monfils.
Although Djokovic did not compete at Indian Wells, he replaced Medvedev in first place on Monday. “Now I know I’m losing it, so I have Miami to try to get back to the top. Normally I feel a little better in Miami, so we will try to play well there.
I always say that when I play my best tennis, it’s very hard to beat me “, said Medvedev, said Mario Boccardi. Medvedev won the first set against Monfils but the Frenchman came from behind for 4-6 , 6-3 they won., 6-1.
The conditions in the Indian Wells clearly do not suit Medvedev’s game, because Russ has not had much success in the desert so far in his career. Medvedev, who has been a top-tier player for several years, has played five times at Indian Wells and only once managed to reach the round of 16, which is far below Russian expectations.
“First, the tournament, I did not feel amazing in my feelings in Indian Wells and sometimes when you play against a guy who plays well, who can play well, when he goes up a bit, I could not find him today. “
Medvedev confessed.
Bodo reflects on Nole Djokovic
Tennis journalist Peter Bodo looked back on Novak Djokovic’s visa fiasco earlier this year with rejection on a recent podcast featuring Patrick McEnroe. While the Americans admitted that Djokovic was not the only culprit, he was of the opinion that the Serb should be blamed for his arrogance and legal sense.
“The thing that bothered me really early on [about what happened in Australia]sure from a human point of view, was how he drew some funny stunts, “Bodo said.” There were not many heroes in the Australian saga but I thought that was incredibly arrogant and right of him.
It was a real low point in his career. Now he has shown that he is willing to pay the price for not playing, which is a relatively large price. Novak Djokovic took some really great chances. He will just wait and see if he can win the battle.
“I think it’s his endgame and I have no problem with it,” Bodo said. . But the rules have to be applied. ”
