"He’s original, it’s how he expresses his feelings": Henin doesn't place blame on Medvedev for Zverev feud

Justine Henin doesn't want to put blame on Daniil Medvedev for the apparent feud between him and Alexander Zverev explaining that he's human and not perfect.

Medvedev and Zverev seemingly have a feud going on which only got worse during their Monte-Carlo match with Zverev really lashing out against the Russian after the match. It became quite a big story and talking about it with Eurosport, Justine Henin look at what had happened and how it might unfold.

She said:

"Things are getting spicy. It’s going to be interesting, everyone is talking about this thing between Zverev and Medvedev. It happened already in the 80s with other players, and it was nice. These days it looks like it’s gonna be a big story, so let’s talk about that. They don’t really like each other, they proved that. They communicate with the press, the players now, will they talk together? I still think it’s going to be the best that they talk together and bring back from the past. But maybe they like it, so maybe it’s the reason."

Speaking further on the topic, Henin admitted that Medvedev is far from perfect but she also would not want to put blame solely on him:

"I don’t think it was unfair but we know Daniil admits he’s human, sometimes he’s not perfect. He talked about Diego Schwartzman, I think it’s more [serious] with Zverev. Daniil sometimes can get frustrated, upset, and we don’t understand. He’s original, it’s how he expresses his feelings. I don’t want to blame him, it’s not that bad. Him as a player, his personality. Let them talk together."
