Russia’s tennis star
Daniil Medvedev has stated that in his
opinion, Serbia’s
Novak Djokovic, Italy’s
Jannik Sinner and Spain’s Carlos
Alcaraz are better players than him. The current world number four is regarded
as one of the best players currently playing in the men’s singles category.
Medvedev was recently quoted in a report where he expressed
his opinion that facing opponents like Djokovic, Sinner and Alcaraz pushes him
to improve his game. “I think in every sport you can see it where you are up
against someone really strong, and the moment you think maybe they become
weaker, or at least you feel like it, there are new guys coming that try to
beat you, and manage it to do it sometimes,” he said.
“For me it’s a big challenge to try to beat these guys,
Novak, Rafa is still there – I wanted to say only Novak, but no, Rafa is back,
let’s see how far he can go. Jannik, Carlos, Novak, I feel like they are all
better than me, if we talk about peak performance; so for me it’s a big
challenge to try to beat them when I play them. I’m happy to take this
challenge and make a big improvement on myself when I manage to beat them.”
