Daniil Medvedev is not a fan of clay or anything related to clay but his ambition still drives him to try and win the Roland Garros.
Daniil Medvedev is not a fan of clay yet despite that he shared that his goal is actually winning Roland Garros. It has been a rocky 2021 for Daniil Medvedev on clay as his statements about the surface spoke more than his play on the surface. He played three matches on the surface in 2021 winning only one.
One of these statements was when he said he would be happy to win one match at the Roland Garros. Now the Russian shared different ambitions for the French Open. He said:
“I was joking when I said that about “winning at least one match at Roland Garros. It is a joke, of course! If this were really my mindset, I would not even compete.”

He then shared what his real goal for the Grand Slam is:
“My real goal is to win the tournament. To do this, I’ll just focus on each match and try to win each of them.”
It is a noble goal and one that many tennis players have but Daniil Medvedev never won a match in the main draw of the French Open. He played four matches in his career losing all four of them. Perhaps 2021 will be his lucky year as the Russian is the number two seed at this event.
The Roland Garros starts on Sunday and we will have daily coverage for the event. Stay tuned.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
