Medvedev...
Kinda good though
Still an arsehole
I don't get this, or tennis followers in general. Does anyone know Medvedev or do they just not like a player who beats players they like, who they also don't know.
I wouldn't endear myself to a crowd that booed me either.
I'm rating him based on his tanty to the ump in the semi.
Entitled millennial who thinks telling louder makes your argument right. (Even if he may have had a point.)
He has a lot to learn about customer relations... I recall Joker being pretty unliked early on. He has an excellent game, there is always time to make nice with the crowd, if he wants to
I liked the comment about the wife and the broken tv. I suspect he has a dark sense of humour that isn't a quick to warm up to style.
And he's got resting prick face. -

Did you see his post match speech? Extremely gracious towards Nadal, respectful to the media & came across good.
Dunno who this person is (and why their comments are on tennis are relevant), but I'm 100% with Medvedev here. You can't spend 5 hours ignoring winners, cheering errors & booing Hawkeye awarding you points then expect your target to have any interest in anything you say or do anymore.

The Medvedev press conference was a little weird:
‘The kid stopped dreaming’: Daniil Medvedev’s stunning slam claim in extraordinary presser monologue
‘Kid stopped dreaming’: Medvedev blasts crowd, makes huge slam call in wild presser
"The kid is going to play for himself."
I wasn't a fan of the crowd behaviour but I think this was a bit OTT.
As if he wasn't playing for himself, possibly Russia, and probably the $$.
I don't really think he was playing for Australians before. -

I don't really think he was playing for Australians before.I think there was a bit of lost in translation there with the word he used.
Make no mistake though, it was a thinly veiled critique of the crowd.

I agree with this. But he can choose to butt heads with the crowd, or he can try to win them over. I think the crowds at this year's open have been particularly boorish. Maybe it's recently bias
