In a recent feature for Tennis TV,
Daniil Medvedev admitted he would choose Nadal as the player to be stranded with on an island.
Tennis TV uploaded a video in which several players were asked which player they would choose to bring with themselves if they were stranded on a desert island. Medvedev said this:
"I need to take somebody who's going to help
me survive, to maybe cooking food, to maybe... get food. So I need someone strong mentally, I
would say, Rafa! Why? Because he is capable to adapt to any situation. I'm not sure if he would be happy to have me there, but I would be happy to have him there."
Medvedev certainly experienced the adaptability of Nadal in the recent Australian Open. The Spaniard was able to battle back from an unbelievable deficit to lift his 21st grand slam trophy. In that match, he adapted many times to several things Medvedev was doing.
The Russian was not the only one who chose Nadal as Sinner and Nishikori also picked Nadal.
