“That’s not nice, but what can you do? I can tell you if after my career I’m somewhere at a tennis match and someone does it, I’m going to be like, It’s him, this guy, these guys should be out of the tournament.
“I’m not even going to watch the match. I’m going to be like, It’s him who did it. Kick him out. When I’m on the court, I have to just focus and try to win it.”
Medvedev was in a position to nullify Alcaraz and hailed his own performance as a ‘12 out of 10’ display. He now has the chance so as to add to his 2021 title.
“Every time he had these game points, I was, like, I was saying to myself, I can win this game. I can win this game. I managed to hit some amazing points. We were both pumping up the crowd, because the points were unbelievable,” Medvedev added.
“When I gained it, I used to be like, ‘Let’s go, try to finish the match’. I managed to do it. As I mentioned, the group was unbelievable at the moment.”
