Daniil Medvedev Reacts To Holger Rune Defeat (& Zverev Comments!) | Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters 2023

[@11lawpt1]

love meddy’s interviews so transparent and always a great insight😂

[@MegsCarpentry-lovedogs]

I agree. Very articulate and clear with his point of view, and transparent indeed.☺🇨🇦

[@sashazhidkova]

Medvedev is honestly the best. Even after defeat, he is calm, intelligent and respectful in his answers. Just the best

[@h4rder10]

he is not respectful at all which is a good thing .... theres no need to be respectful in life ....

[@x.6940]

The irony is that he called him unfair while actually he is one of the most self-aware and fair players and his answers here prove it. He always thinks and talks fairly, always on point. When something is wrong he admits it and call it wrong, but at the same time he takes no shit from no one 👏

[@ryanmoroz7607]

Yeah, I was blown away when Zverev said that and forgot who was talking for a moment, then I was like "oh yeah right ol' humble Zverev yet again".

[@707ladytee]

Well said!

[@miskoL0L]

That's why I like and respect Daniil so much!

[@Skama1975]

Exactly!

[@theintentionalist]

Aye!! Daniil "The Octopus" Medvedev is just what the ATP needs right now in the sanitized world of tennis. No filter, a sense of humor, and the game to back it up. Keep going Meddy!!! My favorite player right now.

[@garrusv]

You can hate him for some of his on-court antics, but one must admit that he is humble and honest in his losses.

[@alwaysquesting8613]

[@antonydandan6255]

Medvedev is always transparent in his interviews, he is showing most of time very relaxed behavior after his matches. Really intelligent guy. Congrats 👏🏻

[@the40yearoldgamer41]

Yeah after the match is time to relax and enjoy the MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of dollars he's won. Fun job, but he worked hard for it

[@michael.forkert]

He’s not smarter. He is truthful. Journalists never were! An old quotation confirms that: “If you don’t read the news paper you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed”. That’s it.

So true. They are the only ones I watch as well. Wish Roger, Rafa and Novak were all the same age and still playing regularly. And, as you say Daniil and Nick's pressers are just as good.

[@vivienenoel2001]

Daniil is a very honest and disent human, humble, just great. You will win next time. Keep going

[@03cobra4]

By far, presents himself as the most intelligent player in the post match interviews and communicates so well (in multiple languages). He is very transparent and provides interesting insights and perspectives. Seems to be willing to admit his mistakes. Not sure he always learns from them, but admitting them is half the battle.

[@Ciclopea2]

Love how fair he was to everyone in his answers, it's the press that likes to stir up drama so they don't have to do much work themselves. What i take from this presser is that if Daniil doesn't like you, you probably gave him a legit reason not to, also his french sounds amazing!

[@deniselowe5136]

I like his French too. I just wish the Q&A spoken in French was translated to English.

[@kevinhickey3515]

Daniil is so unlike the other players. Always great to watch and great in interviews. Zverev is so full of himself it stands between himself and winning matches. Pity......

[@chele4real453]

I love Daniil … he is so honest …enjoy his press conferences just as much as watching him play 😊

[@denistukhvatov5226]

Smartest guy out on the courts!!

[@Victrola66]

I was so surprised to read what Zverev said about Daniil. He talks about fairplay and behavior but forgets it also counts of court. There are many ways to express dissatisfaction with someone's behavior but he chose to do it in a childish way. He only managed to turn the guns on himself. I will never forget his behavior during match with Lloyd Harris. Especially when Harris was on a roll and was about to win the set, and Sasha starts complaining about the billboard and throwing Lloyd of his game. Where was his fairplay then?

[@h4rder10]

what off court stuff about sasha is bad? his behaviour with his ex? thats unproven ... dont assume things about things that are unproven ...

[@Victrola66]

@@h4rder10 making such childish comments is what I am talking about. Daniil apologized to him right at the net for his behavior. Yet Sasha chose to make such a sore comment only showing that he still needs to grow up.

[@sparx1599]

This is why medevedev is one of the best personalities on tour. Extremely down to earth and just says what his mind thinks. I guarantee you if this was Federer or Nadal were in a similar situation it would’ve been a 1 or 2 sentence answer.

[@vehementegomez]

It's a pity for Zverev not to have a good relationship with Daniil. He, Daniil, looks like a really nice guy. Literate, smart and outspoken. Sasha is missing the chance to learn some stuff... and not just about tennis. Anyway, good luck to the guys for the season.

[@ОлесяГлебова-и7ц]

It is such a hypocrisy to talk about fair play from a guy who doesn’t know what it is himself. Zverev absolutely forgot Acapulco, USO match against Harris, his agression towards his father. If you can’t serve for the match two times, if you can’t close the match having two match points, try to change something in your game and in your mindset. It is not Daniil’s fault that you are unable to do this. Zverev was laughing himself about the episode with a net stick (because he was one set up), but started to cry about it when he lost 🤣

[@nastyalegoyda5227]

Exactly!!!

[@pauljohnson6019]

Medvedev studied physics and math at a specialized school before graduating early and enrolling in economics and commerce at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations. He later dropped out to focus on tennis.[13] He then switched to the Russian State University of Physical Education, Sport, Youth, and Tourism, where he received his diploma as coach.[14] With his family he moved to Antibes, France where he trained at the tennis academy.[15] His parents have been living in France since then, as retirees.[12] As a result of living mostly overseas after turning 18, Medvedev can speak French and English fluently, besides his native Russian.[11] there you go !

Yes, whistle. Against his first match against Sonego some did that. The commentators said that there was a large group of Italians there. Apparently, it's an Italian thing. LOL Then, against Zverev, there was a small group who started that again, but were quickly told to shut it up, and a short thing during the Rune match. Maybe it's a European clay thing now? I hope we don't start that here in the US. It's annoying as heck.
