Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev said that in the victorious match of the quarterfinals of the Masters in Indian Wells with Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina, he played on painkillers.
“I’m actually glad my ankle didn’t hurt a lot because when I warmed up it hurt quite a lot. I knew that I would play, I knew that I would try. But I couldn’t move well in the warm-up. I tried to warm up my ankle as long as possible, took one painkiller, so that must have helped. In fact, I felt better and better during the match.” leads slova Medvedeva official site ATP.
