"I don't care if Federer and Nadal are not here. I want to win the tournament" says Daniil Medvedev
Daniil Medvedev never shied away from saying what was truly

From 2019 , apart from AO2020, Med has been amazing in all hc slam, lost only to slam winnersMeddy seems hungry, he looks determined

I mean tsitsipas, rublev and Rudd didn’tI agree, but look at his draw though lol. Almost every top 15 player would have reach the SF with this draw. The real task will be the final
And media should stop asking players if they feel more hungry because fed and Rafa are not playing. It’s not 2019 anymore and they wouldn’t make much of a difference to HC slams. Maybe Rafa can but certainly not fed
Isn’t that coach Toni nadal.
And?Isn’t that coach Toni nadal.
Still I feel players keep getting asked about big 3 present or absent. If I won a match I wouldn’t wanna talk about someone’s absence but how I’ve played and what I wanna do in the next match. I mean since 2019 medvedev has been the second best HC player and certainly doesn’t need fedal’s absence to make an impactAnd?
Well if Djokovic had to deal with Nadal and Federer right now instead of Zverev and Medvedev, he would have been already throwing a celebration party. Lol

I mean he is not wrong, really. Right now, they are a bit tougher opponents in slams, no matter what we think of next gen.Let me guess...
Zverev and Medvedev have taken the game to a wholly new level, amazing tennis that we have never seen before, simply sublime athleticism and no technical flaws whatsoever... Now it remains to be seen if Novak can top them... If so, it would be sensational!

We are talking about Rafa×Roger and Med×Zve right now, not competiton and who would be tougher to be for Novak right now. For instance Rafa hasn't taken a set from Novak for 8 years on HC.I mean it's wrong. Competition was a lot tougher for instance 2008-2016. Since 2016, Big3 have played far below their best level, yet they have won all the slams apart from US20, where two didn't compete and Novak got upset by Karen.
FAA's coach is talking about the present time Federer and Nadal being around, not some hypothetical mythical version of them. So yes Djokovic would be having a party right now if that would have been the case.Let me guess...

Far from it. Did you see Zverev's level in this tournament. Serving 135mph bombs while making 80%+ of first serves. How is that even possible. Also returning and covering the court like crazy. Arguably the best backhand in the game right now, rally wise completely on par if not better than Djokovic at the moment . The guy is a ultimate challenge in tennis I feel. Djokovic has to be at his absolute best level for him to have a chance on Friday.Is he not having a party?

The Ultimate Challenge has never beaten a Top 10 player in a slam
“Auger Aliassime’s coach”
Curiosity killed the cat, but it's that you, at the avatar ?Medvedev has cool attitude generally and he is stepping in the role of #2 player in the world nicely. He is one of the best players on the tour now and his confidence is what we should see from top players. It really shouldn't be as refreshing as it is lol.
Hopefully, this time more experience helps Daniil to match his words with a real result.
"Here to win the tournament" is ofc just code for "gonna lose to my idol in the final, folding over like a cheap rug at a Chinese store in Detroit"
Isner certainly didn't want toStill I feel players keep getting asked about big 3 present or absent.

He had a loss and the press wants to talk about Novak, it’s not fairIsner certainly didn't want to
This is exactly why I believe Zverev is going to win the semi on Friday. He is ready. He is playing his best tennis of his career. I just hope he doesn't have those short mental lapses where he loses a game or two because he isn't concentrating at 100%.Far from it. Did you see Zverev's level in this tournament.

I believe Medvedev is going to defeat Zverev in the final, but I would not be surprised if Zverev were to defeat Medvedev - my prediction though is Medvedev will win.
I thought it was gross that Pam Shriver asked Maria Sakkari about Djokovic after Sakkari's win last night. Give it a rest! Maria won't be playing Djokovic!He had a loss and the press wants to talk about Novak, it’s not fair
or Zverev! Anything is possible in tennis! I think it would be beyond hilarious if Felix were to win this USO! I actually like him the most of the 4 semi-finalists, as a person, but am not going to be rooting for him in his semi.What if Novak faced Felix Mugisamme in the final ?

Yep. I was getting a feeling that having different pics of Roger as my avatar all the time was a bit too fangirlish. I'd probably switch it when he comes back thoughCuriosity killed the cat, but it's that you, at the avatar ?
Rafa: wins 2019 USO (sits out 2020, 2021)Rafa and Fed have been irrelevant at HC slams for a while now. Why would anyone care they are not there?
And what has Fed done?Rafa: wins 2019 USO (sits out 2020, 2021)
makes final in 2020 AO
Not quite irrelevant for a while by my definition.
No, I am not siding with anyone who is demeaning what Novak has already achieved, and further trying to achieve.
I just loathe bad arguments.
That's nice Not many put their own pictures at the aviYep. I was getting a feeling that having different pics of Roger as my avatar all the time was a bit too fangirlish. I'd probably switch it when he comes back though
Here's what you wrote: " Rafa and Fed have been irrelevant at HC slams for a while now."And what has Fed done?
This is the catch 22 of '21Unfortunately it'll be worse if FAA gets there
