"It's a game of cat and mouse," says Medvedev after defeating Mannarino

Daniil Medvedev prevailed against Adrian Mannarino and advanced to the quarterfinals of 's-Hertogenbosch.

In an interview with the ATP after his match, the Russian described his performance and Mannarino's unique style of play: "He plays perfectly on grass, so low that you can't—at least I can't really hit the ball properly.

I can't really strike the ball cleanly. It's the same for him, actually. We can't hit winners because we're disrupting each other.

In the end, it becomes a game of cat and mouse, where we're just running and wearing each other out. Physically, it was tough for both of us."

He will face Reilly Opelka this Friday for a spot in the semifinals.
