"Wins give me confidence" says Medvedev after win over Moutet

Daniil Medvedev got his first grass win of the season in Mallorca over Corentin Moutet 6-4 6-2.

Medvedev had a very slow start in the match vs Moutet trailing for the better part of the set before going on an epic run to win it 6-4. It gave confidence to Medvedev who played an even better 2nd set winning it with 6-2. After the match he said:

“In the beginning, I couldn’t hit two balls in the court and I was missing lots of serves when I had 40/0. On grass, that’s not the best thing to do in my first [service] game of the match. But I’m really happy that I managed to win the match because that’s what gives [me] confidence and [hopefully] in the next rounds I can play better.”

The Russian will face Casper Ruud next who is the 5th seed of the event. The winner will move to the semifinal so the stakes are high. On that matchup Medvedev said:

“Casper is a great player, he jumped a lot this year [in the FedEx ATP Rankings]. Hopefully, the grass can help me a little bit because it’s not his best surface. But I’m sure he is playing well here and I need to be at my best.”
