Daniil Medvedev: 'Bad Boy' of Tennis?

"During the tournament, I watched the highlights of the day every night and none of my matches were included, basically. People commented Medvedev needs just three shots to win the match."

The 23-year-old world No. 4 told L'Equipe: But honestly, I think it will not happen. For example, it was funny when Marat Safin was asked about it and he said, But what kind of bad guy is he? He is a very nice guy. The bad guys look much different."

Medvedev concluded: "It's hard to explain because when I was No. 15, I was good already. Then I wanted to get into the top 10, which is never easy. And then with the US series when I lost during the third round, I managed to get in the top 10. And you can tell yourself, Okay, I've done a full circle, but I didn't want to stop."

Reflecting on how he sees his career progressing: "I just want to see how far I can go. It could be No. 1. If it doesn't happen, that means that I wouldn't be strong enough. And I know that here, now, to get to be high up in the race, you have to do a significant effort, but I'm trying to do my best."
