"I'm going to try as long as I can": Medvedev looks to take momentum forward after back-to-back titles

Daniil Medvedev won an ATP trophy for the second week in a row and he wants to keep this momentum going for as long as he can keep it up.

Medvedev had a really tough time on Tour since he threw away the Australian Open against Nadal. He talked about it openly and it was visible in his game. It wasn't the real Medvedev and there weren't any trophies either. Things changed in Rotterdam last week and he kept it going this week by beating Murray in the final.

Speaking after the match, Medvedev said:

“[It was] a tough match. It was a little bit windy today, so both of us were struggling to find our rhythm… Today was a big fight for both of us. Sometimes we were playing bad, then suddenly both of us were playing amazing, and I’m happy to win.”

He also underlined Rotterdam as a key week for him because he was able to find momentum:

“I managed to find momentum in Rotterdam. The first two matches I played there were tough. I didn’t feel good before that tournament, and then starting in the quarter-finals against Felix [Auger-Aliassime], I started to find my rhythm. I started to play really good. Serve better, move better. Today it was tough for Andy to put the balls through me many times, and now the question is [if it] can continue. I’m going to try as long as I can.”
