Medvedev on Sinner: "His return will be fantastic for the tour"
Daniil Medvedev is still searching for a title on the main tour since the Rome Masters 1000 two years ago. The Russian hopes to rediscover his best form during the clay-court season, which kicks off this week in Monte-Carlo.
During a press conference before his match against compatriot Karen Khachanov, the newly-ranked world No. 11 was asked about Jannik Sinner, who remains suspended and won’t return until next month at the Rome tournament, held in his home country.
"Tennis is an individual sport. Anything can happen: injuries, suspensions, all kinds of stories. The pace of tennis is very fast, but we know Sinner will be back soon in Rome.
There are still two Masters 1000s without him—let’s see how he comes back. I’m sure he’s training hard. For now, he’s not here to play in Monte-Carlo, and there are other players winning tournaments.
But when he returns, it’ll be tougher for everyone because Jannik always wins so many matches. I think his return will be fantastic for the ATP Tour," he said about the Italian, currently the world No. 1.
