“And I’m gonna be as slow as the court is, so you can take 25 mins… oh no no but the court is slow so I go slow, I take my time” - Daniil Medvedev 💀
Daniil Medvedev is no fan of slow courts and he's made that very well-known many times in his career including last night when he made a hilarious remark.
The Russian prefers to play on faster courts as slower courts make it very hard to play the way he likes to play tennis. He had some issues against Ilya Ivashka last night and after losing the second set, the Russian had a hilarious exchange with umpire Lahyani. He complained about the court speed:
"I’m gonna pee as slow as this court is. So you can take 25 minutes. The court is slow so I go slow, I take my time."
Lahyani responded that Medvedev has to accept the conditions as they are but Medvedev responded:
"I don’t accept this. They say on the fact sheet this is hard courts. This is not hard courts."
