Current world number five Daniil Medvedev was very candid in his press conference after his defeat against Jannik Sinner in the US Open quarter-finals , where he lost in four sets.
The 28-year-old player analyzed his rivalry with the world number one and what this 13th duel against the 23-year-old transalpine was like.
Daniil Medvedev: I will try to be better next time, that’s the only thing I can do
“It’s been tough for me lately, but at the same time, honestly today compared to other matches I played with him in the last year when he started beating me, I felt like I was doing things right.
“I just didn’t execute them well. I feel like he did the right things and I did the right things as well,” said the candid Russian, who won his last title at the Rome Masters 1000 last year. “So I think we both came out of this match thinking that we both felt the same way.
“Well, the only thing is that I lost and he won. So he will feel better. Having a great rivalry like this always drives me to be better, and sometimes I lose; and other times I win. I will try to be better next time, that’s the only thing I can do,” concluded Daniil Medvedev, who will recharge his energies to focus his forces on the cement tour in Asia.
