Russia’s tennis star Daniil Medvedev has interesting words
for Felix Auger Aliassime during a recent interaction. The current world number
four was featured in a video posted by ATP on the social media platform X — previously
known as Twitter — account where he was asked questions by fellow tennis
players.
Aliassime asked an interesting question to the one-time
Grand Slam winner. “Daniil plan and simple like how do I win against you? I’ve
been close at times but every time you’ve made me struggle so I’m going to keep
trying but how do you do it?” he asked. In response to that, Medvedev asked Canada’s star tennis player to look at how America’s Tommy Paul has played
against him in the recent past.
“It’s a very fun question,” said the current world number
four. “But I have an answer. I actually managed to win the match but if you watch
Tommy Paul’s first set against me in Indian Wells, you can see how you can beat
me. You just have to return everything on the line, jump to the net, make drop
shot volleys, winners and it is pretty easy to beat me.” Both players have
faced off seven times and on all occasions, it was the Russian tennis star who
came out on top.
