The Russian Daniel Medvedev 28 years old and world No. 4, he lost to the American Taylor Fritz27 years old and No. 5, 6-4 and 6-3 in 1h.20′ of the first individual match of the ATP Finals in Turin 2024.
Moscotiva has been falling lately, he is not in good shape, and nobody like him knows better that he needs to give direction to his career. He showed signs of mental fatigue, putting one of his poor numbers on the court.
He sent the racket to a microphone, then played it by throwing it in the air a few times, then held the instrument upside down. He was penalized with the loss of a point, and it was only a small one because he almost wanted to be kicked out. He himself signaled to the referee, before the last play of the match, “I’m going to retire, I’m going to retire.”
In the official press conference he pointed out the culprit of the situation. He pointed in two directions. First, to himself for bad behavior: “I don’t think about it, it doesn’t come out of my mind, and I don’t expect anything. I’m just angry, I’m disgusted. This time it’s completely on my own, no to anyone yes, I’m very frustrated” , he admitted.
“I’m 100% looking forward to finish the season, and it’s the first time I’ve said it. I always fight, but, like I’ve been saying for a long time, I fight for something that doesn’t depend on me no 4 I’m still in the world, maybe 5 yes Taylor (Fritz) He’s good at it. It’s still pretty decent. I’m sure many men want to be like this. But now I’m tired of fighting. “I’m tired of fighting something that doesn’t depend on me,” he insisted.
The subject of balls, which he believes accentuates power, not his counterplay, tactics, comes up again as he examines. “I feel like I’m at a big disadvantage, but I have to do something, and we’ll try it in the preseason. Everyone is putting up with me today in the rally. Now the tactics are not so important, we have to hit. Everything is about fighting and serving well in the preseason to try to find solutions,” he emphasized.
Although he still has at least two games left in Turin, he does not face the conditions. “I’ll try, and if it doesn’t work I’ll take a vacation.” “Right now, I feel zero pleasure on the court. Any pleasure on the court. The balls do what everyone can do, so I’m not surprised that Taylor Fritz endured my rallies. Every game for me is a fight. For a long time ” he complained.
