"I know what I'm worth": Daniil Medvedev rubbishes 'under the radar' notion compared to Djokovic and Alcaraz
ATP
Russia’s tennis star Daniil Medvedev has stated that he knows
his ‘worth’ as he prepares to participate in the quarterfinal of the Australian
Open.
The 27-year-old booked his place in the last-eight of the
first Grand Slam of the year after defeating Portugal’s Nuno Borges in the round
of 16 with a score of 6-3, 7-6, 5-7, 6-1.
A reporter asked Medvedev whether he feels that he is
flying under the radar with all the noise surrounding the likes of the world number
one Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, world number two Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and world
number four Italy’s Jannik Sinner.
In response to that, the current world number three stated
that he knows his ‘worth’ and that he is ready to go all the way in the competition.
"I know what I'm worth,” he said. “I know how good I
can play. I proved it in the US Open, especially for myself, playing some tough
opponents, in my opinion, like game style-wise. I managed to beat them. I'm
ready. Hopefully, I can show it on the tennis court. We can talk forever about
who is ready, who is favorite. You need to win.”
Medvedev will now face Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz in the quarterfinal
of the Australian Open on Tuesday.
