Vesnina does not consider Medvedev’s departure from Roland Garros a tragedy

Olympic champion Elena Vesnina sees nothing wrong with the departure of Russian Daniil Medvedev in the first round of Roland Garros.

Medvedev lost to the Brazilian Seibut Tyagu. The meeting lasted 4 hours and 15 minutes and ended with a score of 7:6 (7:5), 6:7 (6:8), 2:6, 6:3, 6:4 in favor of the 172nd racket of the world, who made it to Roland Garros main draw through qualification.

– This is Roland Garros, where there are no weak opponents. Everyone here can play. Tiago jumped over his head, played his best match in his career. But it is worth noting Medvedev’s clay season: he just played brilliantly all spring, won his first title on earth. His departure from Roland Garros is not a tragedy, but just a working moment. Danya was not the main favorite to win in Paris, so nothing bad happened.

Now Medvedev needs to prepare well for Wimbledon. There are grass tournaments ahead, and on this surface Daniil has excellent prospects for success, Vesnina said to the Championship.

Earlier in May, the second racket of the world, Medvedev, for the first time in his career, became the winner of the clay Masters in Rome.
