As usual, Daniil Medvedev was rather talkative during his press conference before the start of the ATP 500 in Beijing, where he will face Gaël Monfils this Friday in the first round.
And after discussing his upcoming match against the Frenchman and the difficulty of finding himself in the same draw as Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, the Russian also spoke about a potential clash against the Spaniard in the semi-finals.
“We both come from the Laver Cup, so we have to win the first matches. It won’t be easy with the time difference and everything. Usually, we prepare longer. Right now, the preparation is short. But if we both meet, yes, playing against Carlos is not easy, especially when he is on fire. I saw it when we played in the Laver Cup. He played very well. The guys opposite didn’t have a chance. Yes, you have to give your best. You have to try to put him under pressure all the time. That’s when you can have a chance. Yes, that’s the most important thing, to play your best tennis.”
