Medvedev explains why he does not want to train at the Bernabéu

Daniil Medvedev was asked by Russian media about his interest in trying out the court installed at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, and the former world number 1 was firm in his response. "They offered me to play there, but they prepared it practically the day before the matches. There is a risk that the bounce may be different or that the surface may change, and personally, I was not prepared for that. I prefer to focus on the tournament and maybe later have the opportunity to try it," he commented.
