Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev has advanced to the third round of Roland Garros, and he made it clear that he does not fear anyone in the draw. The world No.5 comfortably defeated Miomir Kecmanovic, who retired from the match due to an undisclosed injury.
Despite not knowing about his opponent’s injury until the end of the match, Medvedev expressed his concern for Kecmanovic’s well-being. He stated, “Of course, you want your opponent to be in full shape, healthy. And then, sometimes you don’t want them to play their best tennis, but it is unfortunate that he didn’t feel good.”
Looking ahead to his next match, Medvedev awaits the winner between Mariano Navone and Tomas Machac. When asked about the possibility of facing Machac, who recently defeated Novak Djokovic, Medvedev remained confident. He said, “I don’t think I fear anyone, to be honest. Yeah, again, what you fear is that the guy is going to play everything on the line, and that’s when they can beat you.”
The 2021 US Open champion emphasized the importance of staying focused and preparing for his upcoming matches. Medvedev is scheduled to play the winner of Navone and Machac on Saturday, pending any weather delays.
As Medvedev continues his quest at Roland Garros, his unwavering confidence and determination will be key factors in his pursuit of success on the clay courts of Paris.
