Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev is one of the favorites of Roland Garros, but not the first, according to three-time Grand Slam winner in doubles Elena Vesnina.
– In the men’s grid, one of the favorites is Danya Medvedev. But he is not number one, and he himself understands this. He is well aware that the ground is not his favorite coating. And he knows that everything will depend on his rivals. Yes, there is Alcaras, Tsitsipas, Rune and Djokovic. But Daniel never ceases to amaze everyone this season. When least expected of him, he performs at his best. He’ll do it! He has everything for this.
Medvedev is a tennis player of the highest class and level. And such athletes always set the highest goals for themselves. It’s not enough for them to get to the semi-finals. Only first place! Vesnina told Sport24.
Medvedev at the start of the tournament will play with qualified Brazilian Thiago Seibot Wild on May 29. In 2023, the Russian became the winner of the Masters in Rome, winning a tournament on clay for the first time in his career.
