'Angry Medvedev' is back at it: "These balls are for people who like..."

The adventure of Daniil Medvedev at the ATP 500 in Rotterdam lasted one round, the one it took for Ugo Humbert to defeat him in a match that went to the third set. The Russian ended up pulling his hair in frustration at having to play with balls that were not to his liking. In the end, he exploded as was expected.

"… because balls are made for... for people who like to please. People who like to please with a little... a little saliva," exclaimed the former world number 1 with words that need to be taken with caution, and everyone can interpret them as they wish.
