Daniil Medvedev Speaks Ahead of His 2023 Clay Debut! | Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters

that I don't always like how you tame it I think actually when I was talking about all that I exaggerated a little or a lot after the thing it's just that and that's for sure there are players who really like to be that pace predator I don't know me I don't like I don't like I'd rather be clean I can't lie so I don't like the socks you can throw them away because you wash them and he's still dirty in it and otherwise there was something else he wanted to say oh yes I'd rather the hard surface oh yes today we trained with olgaroun and there was a game in which he made four services rather correct and with four forests well I missed 4 times and I don't know why there are forums it doesn't seem normal to me there is a tennis court why is there forums and yes and there are some who like him I don't like him so I prefer to say later I know it is very normal that we have

clay

on the circuit and I understand that we have to diversify like this at this time of the TP tour and That seems very honest and very good to me I have to know how to give my best for a while we your ambitions are limited when you get to the

clay

you have fewer objectives to win titles it is possible at the same time I want to win every game I play but I know that there are other players that maybe they can be better on this surface I still am the match was really I felt magnificent in this tournament there Roland Garros so it was 2000 21 if I'm not mistaken because I do it because against Stéphane and I felt really very good those two weeks there and like studies however it was a very tight match but it was tough on the dirt and the lifting is good it's his favorite surface so I feel like yeah it's a lot harder for me to reach my full potential but I know that i can play well even there was a form djokovic in the same tournament so i can do well and that's what you have to try to do and yeah maybe have a title on clay who knows in hindsight do you see a specific reason why which you have done so well? this first half of the season is confidence that comes little by little at some point there is some kind of wave of confidence that you go out on or are there other reasons too no i dont see 13 years actually there was a moment about you after rattan d'armes or bah especially since the quarterfinals I am against Felix's match I started to play very well and find my level again that I like and I really made it there we can say it and I managed to maintain a level almost without stopping for all the five tournaments with of course a little less well or on the contrary better I don't see specific reasons why it wasn't the case much earlier and it was the case there but I always train hard even last year I had a lot more time with injuries or mixed with a lot more time to train, so I think that's what also allowed me to maintain this level of fitness and tennis throughout this tournament, so yes, I think it's the work that paid off. time together with maybe something in my energy in life that was better yeah I don't have specific reasons I guess how it feels to go into this tournament without Rafael Nadal that changes something because I don't think for guys like Novak. it wasn't maybe yes because they on clay actually before the tournament she sees it right away well like me i try to make it hard right away you have to get to the final and you know you have to take it match by match but you if I make a final, there is a chance, I count on Novak bah on earth, you know that where you finally have it means a case in the semifinal, there is a great possibility that he will be there and not another, but for me in the Land on my play by play so I don't really care if there's Nadal or not afterwards I think it might be a pretty bad thing to play it once anyway on dirt if I manage to be away from there the tournament thank you thank you all I'll stay here
