In Australia expanded 2022, more than once Daniil Medvedev complained about the audience on the field. After the match against Nick Kyrgios, he once bluntly disparaged Australian fans “low IQ”. The reason is because the Russian tennis player constantly receives booing in the stands.
By the final yesterday with Nadal, the incident recurred. In the press conference after the match, the seed No. 2 voiced his frustration. Medvedev thinks that he is Russian may be a cause, and he may abandon Roland Garros or Wimbledon to attend a tournament held in Russia.
“Thousands of audiences constantly make sounds like 'TSSS, TSSS, TSSS' before I serve the ball. It is not respectful and disappointing. I am not sure that after 30 years, I still want to play tennis or not.
I think nationality plays an important role in this story. The reason seems to be because Russian tennis has gone down for a while. Hopefully we will have more fans to support Russian athletes.
However, I dare to fish that when a Russian player encountered a opponent from another country, they would not support us. There were a few moments, the child in me stopped dreaming, and today is one of them.
From now on, I will only play for myself, my family, for those who trust me, and of course for all Russians. Simply because I received support and cheer from them.
I would like to say this, if there is a hard -pitch tournament in Moscow, before Roland Garros or Wimbledon, I will go there to play even if I have to miss the other two Grand Slam awards, this is my choice, ”Medvedev said.
