Jostled by Filip Krajinovic during his third round won in five sets, Daniil Medvedev appeared at a press conference with a smile despite a verbal altercation with his coach, Gilles Cervara. Asked about his next opponent in the round of 16, Mackenzie McDonald, the Russian simply compared the American’s style of play with that of Roger Federer, just that. “He plays Roger”, commented a great Lord Daniil with his future opponent.
Made aware of this daring comparison at a press conference, the main interested party was both surprised and flattered: “This is probably the best compliment I have ever received. “
Love is in the air…
