– I wouldn’t say I treat him (Tsitsipas) in a special way, but to be honest: after his interview in Shanghai, I told myself that now, I probably won’t forgive him, I will remember all that I see in him and speak about it to the camera. If he believes that he can say such things, then I will hurt him. If it has to be trash talk, then it will be trash talk.
– You mean what he said about your tennis being boring?
– Yes. I believe that such an opinion has a right to be. I probably would’ve listened to it from any other person, but I think the others wouldn’t say that. Take Sasha Zverev for example: maybe he also considers my tennis boring. But he went to the reporters and said: "I don’t think so, Daniil is a cool player, he achieved great results." And Stefanos - apparently, I strongly offended him with something: I don’t understand how exactly. But, then, I will offend him more.
– Joint photo with Tsitsipas and Kyrgios – was the idea of Kyrgios?
– It wasn’t someone’s idea. We flew together – why not take a picture? At that time, I always said: Tsitsipas and I are not enemies, far from friends, but we are work partners. But now I will say that we are probably enemies.
