Medvedev: "I am not far from being able to win another Grand Slam"
The Russian carefully analyzes the current tennis situation and shows tremendous confidence in his ability to once again reign in a major tournament.
Many believe that his best times are behind him, that we will never see that impregnable version of Daniil Medvedev that revolutionized tennis with a strange balance between consistency and aggressiveness, all seasoned with genuine technique. However, in the run-up to Roland Garros 2025, the Russian shows overwhelming optimism.
Falling out of the top 10 has been interpreted by most fans as a definitive sentence to the decline of Daniil Medvedev, irrefutable proof that he has lost his magic and that his tennis no longer surprises. The helplessness conveyed last year against Sinner and Alcaraz, as well as the lack of titles won, puts Medvedev in a questionable position, which he is eager to refute with statements brimming with motivation and confidence before Roland Garros 2025.
- Great feelings on clay and chances to be a contender for glory again
"I personally believe that this year I am playing the best tennis of my life on clay, even better than when I was champion in Rome. The sensations on the court, my mobility, the game plan... Everything gives me very good vibes. It's true that on hard courts, I've been far from my best version for a while. In any case, I feel that I am not far from the level of tennis with which I can reach finals and win Grand Slam titles. That last leap in quality is sometimes the hardest to make, but I have confidence. I am world number 11, there is no cause for alarm. If I were outside the top 50 without injuries, then I would worry. Right now, I just want to keep improving," he declared.
- Evolution of the overall level of the circuit's best
"Dynamics are changing. Sometimes, you can feel like you're playing great and suddenly drop in the rankings. We've seen it with Ruud, for example. He was on the verge of dropping out of the top 15 and suddenly won in Madrid. The level is very high, but everything can change quickly. Look at two years ago, for example, when Struff made the final in Madrid coming from the qualifying rounds. We all want to win, and we have the level to do so. The truth is that Alcaraz and Sinner seem to be a little ahead of the rest, but there are many players who are not far behind them," admitted Daniil Medvedev, who will debut in Roland Garros 2025 against Cameron Norrie.
