“”At least I set a record in something “At least in some way I made history. It will do,” Medvedev said at a press conference.
“As the matches progressed, every time it was the same story: after two sets my energy level dropped because I didn't get enough sleep, I played for a long time before that. So let it be my mistake, as I needed it easier winning in other matches, but sometimes it is difficult. So it is not easy for the body, but at least I feel that I have no injuries. I have calluses, which is a shame, this is rare for me, but no matter, it will pass,” concluded Russian.
