Medvedev reacts to his victory against Nakashima: "I was angry at the end of the first set"

Daniil Medvedev came through in three sets against Brandon Nakashima in the Madrid round of 16. Interviewed after the match, he shared his thoughts on the playing conditions: "The ball was bouncing so high that it was very hard to control.

I think it affected both of us, because we made a lot of unforced errors.

I was really angry at the end of the first set because I wasn’t in control of what I was doing on the court, but I felt like I wasn’t far from winning the games, and then the match.

So I knew I had to hang in there, play a little better, and that’s what I did."

In the quarterfinals, Medvedev will face Casper Ruud, who defeated Taylor Fritz.
