Daniil Medvedev received boos after securing Russian's final appearance in the Davis Cup Finals with a win over Struff.

The Russian did not mind the boos as he continued to celebrate with his teammates after securing the final berth. Medvedev has been open about Russia's desire to win the Davis Cup going for a clean sweep of the tennis team competitions in 2021 as Russia also won the 2021 Billie Jean King Cup Finals.

"Beating Spain was our highlight. People still don’t understand how to make me lose, they should support me, so it’s ok, continue, I’m gonna just win."

The comment received some more boos but as Medvedev demonstrated several times over the course of his career, he doesn't care. He never cared for boos and often times used them as fuel in matches. Most of the time he used the opportunity to tease the crowd after his wins and that was no different in Madrid.
