1995 Davis Cup finalist Andrey Chesnokov shared his feelings about Daniil Medvedev’s participation in the second round of the tournament in Dubai (UAE).
“Bublik is a tough player. You have to watch out for his antics. First of all, he uses the serve well. He also shoots very short shots. But you know Medvedev is in such a good shape right now that it will be very difficult for Bublik. Now Medvedev has warmed up, suffered, and plays better than ever before. “I think this match will definitely be his favourite. Daniel is definitely in the top 4 in terms of game quality today,” explains Chesnokov. “Match TV”.
Medvedev advanced to the second round of the tournament by defeating the Italian representative Matteo Arnaldi with the scores of 6:4, 6:2.
