Daniil
Medvedev admitted to having difficulties concentrating while trying to identify
the celebrities present during his match against Alcaraz at the US Open.
World No. 3
played one of the best matches of his career and eliminated the 2022 US Open
champion and world No. 1, Carlos Alcaraz. Medvedev showcased his best shots and
didn't allow the Spanish player to continue his quest for a second consecutive
title.
The Russian
acknowledged after the match that he noticed there were a lot of celebrities in
the stands shown on the screens, but he admitted it was challenging to
recognize them and stay focused.
"True,
there were a lot of celebrities they were showing all the time," Medvedev
said.
"I was
trying to stay focused but I was like, 'Who is there? Who is the next one?' I
think I saw everybody who was there, and some of them, yeah, were pretty big
stars. That's cool to see people enjoy tennis," he added.
"That's
amazing because that's the sport I love."
"So to
see people I see on the TV and some of them I'm a fan and some of them I know
just see in the movie or something like this, it's great to see them enjoy such
a great match," Medvedev added.
Daniil
Medvedev also spoke about his strategy for defeating the Spaniard:
"Talking
about Carlos, I'm happy because in Indian Wells and Wimbledon, he used well my
return position from the back," Medvedev said.
"But I
knew that in my opinion, it was not only this that made me lose to him, and I
felt like even returning from back I can cause him trouble and I managed to
prove it today."
In the
final, he will face Novak Djokovic, whom he already defeated in the final at
Flushing Meadows in 2021. They will play this Sunday, September 10th, at the
Arthur Ashe Stadium.

They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period.
