"I'm lucky not to play midnight" says Medvedev after another win in Acapulco

Daniil Medvedev looked every bit a World No. 1 in his 6-1, 6-2 demolition of Spain's Pablo Andujar on Wednesday in Acapulco.

After a hard fought win over Benoit Paire in his debut at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel presentado por HSBC, the Russian completed a never-in-doubt route to advance to the quarter-finals. Medvedev is marching towards the trophy which would give him the number one rakings he desires very much. Speaking after the match, Medvedev said:

"I'm lucky two days in a row not to play at midnight like some other guys. It's pretty tough conditions, quite humid. Even if we play at night it's quite hot... The faster the matches, the better you're going to feel for the next one."

On his opponent Medvedev said:

"Pablo is a very tough opponent, so I knew that from the first point to the last point I would have to fight, to play my best tennis. I'm happy I was able to [execute] my plan. It was enough today to win and I'm really happy about it."
