The Russian Daniel Medvedev He got the mud on the wrong foot. It has always been difficult for him, because he never hid that he would always play on the court, if it was up to him. He surprised as the champion of Rome 2023, although a few weeks later he was surprised in the first round of Roland Garros by the Brazilian Thiago Seyboth Wild.
