"To get used to it you need matches" - Turin hard court 'fastest of the year' according to Medvedev

Daniil Medvedev admitted to struggling to get used to the courts in Turin as they are the fastest hard courts of the entire season.

Medvedev struggled in his match against Rublev getting outplayed in crucial rallies with Rublev's power being very tricky to handle. He admitted that it takes time to get used to the courts because they are the fastest on the Tour:

“[It is] super tough to go from Vienna, which is fast hard court, and I generally like fast hard courts more than slow hard courts, to [Paris] where it was probably the slowest indoor hard court. Here is the fastest of the year. To get used to it you need matches. That was a match today, so that is why I’m saying I hope the next one is going to be better."

He added:

’There are some matches where you feel you’re untouchable, and everything you do — let’s put it this way — turns into gold. Today was not one of them. I didn’t feel amazing during the match. I would enjoy it if I would feel better in terms of tennis. But, again, looking back, [there were] some great points. This can make you play better and turn things into gold in the next matches.”
