Medvedev after losing to Fritz 6-3: 'Why today? I saw you play yesterday and the day before [Fritz lost to Dimitrov 6-3 and to Ruud 6-1] and it was not like that' 😅
"Why today? I saw you play yesterday and the day before and it was not like that": Daniil Medvedev's hilarious net comment as Taylor Fritz finally wins at World Tennis League
ATPSaturday, 23 December 2023 at 23:30
On the third day of the World Tennis League, the finalists of the team tournament were determined. Taylor Fritz secured a significant victory over Daniil Medvedev with a score of 6-3, reviving Team Falcons' hopes of reaching the final. With this win, the American earned his first triumph in the tournament after previous defeats against Casper Ruud (1-6) and Grigor Dimitrov (3-6).
Medvedev expressed surprise at the level displayed by Fritz on the third day and humorously commented that the world No. 10 was far from this form in the previous days.
Former world No. 1 engaged in a doubles showdown alongside Andrey Rublev, securing a victory over Grigor Dimitrov and Stefanos Tsitsipas with a score of 7-6(3). On the second day, he faced a defeat in the match against Hubert Hurkacz with a score of 7-6(4). In the closing moments of the second day, Medvedev played the super shoot-out tie-break, and this time, Medvedev clinched the win, giving the series to his team.
Once again, Medvedev faced a setback in his men’s singles match, this time against Taylor Fritz, and he left a message for his opponent at the net: “Why today? I saw you play yesterday and the day before, and it was not like that,” the 2021 US Open champion said.
Medvedev leads Eagles to victory
Nevertheless, the players went into the definitive overtime to settle the series. This time, without too many difficulties, Medvedev secured the victory for the second consecutive day in the decisive point, giving the win to Team Eagles (22-18).
With the round-robin results determined, the final will take place on Saturday, December 24, between the Eagles and the Kites. The former comprises Aryna Sabalenka, Paula Badosa, Grigor Dimitrov, and Lloyd Harris (Tsitsipas started the tournament but withdrew on the second day). On the other side, Medvedev's team features his compatriots Andrey Rublev and the youngstar Mirra Andreeva, along with the 2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin.
