"I want to play on grass, I want to play Wimbledon": Medvedev eager for Wimbledon return but is willing to wait

Daniil Medvedev wasn't able to play at Wimbledon last year but he's eager to make a return this year because he loves to play tennis on grass.

Medvedev played well on grass last year but he wasn't able to play at Wimbledon due to the event's ban on players from Russia. He still doesn't know whether he'll be able to play this year but he's eager to make a return to the event due to his love for grass tennis:

“I like grass but it’s a very tough surface, it’s a little bit tougher than hard courts, and that’s where I think Novak is amazing winning so many grass-court tournaments. Because you can really just get a guy who is going to serve good this day and you have to win the tie-breaks. Novak managed to win so many times 6-4 6-4 6-4, I actually don’t know how he does it."

He continued:

“So that’s where grass is a little bit tough for me, like for example, I lost to [Tim] Van Rijthoven in the [s-Hertogenbosch] final last year and before the final I was feeling great, playing great, and he was having a good day, hitting bombs, after the match, I was like, 'okay, one hour, he just hit winners all over the place and I lost'."

And concluded:

“This on hard courts is a little bit less probable to happen. But I want to play on grass, I want to play Wimbledon. I don’t know what their decision is going to be. I’m just going to wait for it and hopefully, I can play Wimbledon this year and show some great results.”
