At a press conference on the 12th^e world spoke about the evolution of its very tense relationship in the past with the Russian, whom it will face for the 14^e times (9−4 in favor of Medvedev).

“I consider him someone I respect on the circuit, much more than before. We’ve had disagreements on the court in the past, but I think those disagreements have resolved themselves over time, and obviously we’ve had time to talk through those disagreements and have a common understanding of the issues. reasons why these things happened. I always want to resolve these kinds of things, I don’t want to leave them hanging. It took a while, obviously, quite a while, but it’s good to get it over with and make sure that our tennis brings peace instead of war. It’s a war zone when you’re on court and you’re trying to do your best and get the win, but I feel like tennis should unite instead of separate. »
