Fritz believes Medvedev was 'better player' despite Diriyah Tennis Cup win: "I was very lucky to kind of just scrape out some of these big points"

Taylor Fritz admitted that Daniil Medvedev was the better player in the match despite him pulling out a win in two tie break that weren't that competitive.

The match was competitive but the tiebreak were not with Fritz cruising in both. Medvedev simply lost focus in the crucial moments not playing well enough which was a trend in this match. He had nine break points in total but used none. Fritz had no break points but was able to win and after the match, he said:

"First off, congrats to Daniil for a great tournament. Last time we played, he won, [and] he told me that I was the better player in the first set, and it's kind of reverse this time around. He was the better player for the match, and I was very lucky to kind of just scrape out some of these big points and get through it."
