Daniil Medvedev ironically spoke about an expensive camera on the grid

Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev said that an expensive camera on the grid is useless if she cannot fix important game moments.

This opinion was expressed at the Sixth Rocket of the world at the press conference after the victory over the Frenchman Giovanni Mpeshi -Perrickar in the second round of the ATP 500 tournament in Dubai – 6: 4, 6: 4. In January, during the game of the Australian Open Championship with the representative of Thailand, Kasidit Samreim (6: 2, 4: 6, 3: 6, 6: 1, 6: 2), the Russian athlete hit the net on the grid several times and damaged the camera attached to it. For this, Medvedev received a fine.

– On Australian Open I was fined $ 60 thousand for a broken camera. This is a significant amount, but I understand the rules are rules. But the following happened in this match. I was not sure that he (Meshi -Percikar) touched (grid), but I thought that we had video replacements, if he touched it, then I had to win a point, take a game. So I thought: “Okay, show the moment.”

When I broke the camera in Australia … in my opinion, it should not be there at all, it is a mesh, do not put the camera there. What is this camera do there for 60 thousand, if it cannot show whether it touched the grid or not? – said Medvedev, quoted by Sport Skeeda.

The next rival of Medvedev at the tournament in Dubai will be Tallon Grixpur from the Netherlands.
