After Russia lost her first racket in the second set of the duel with Belarusian Ilya Ivashko, she took a break to go to the toilet.
“The slower I play on this court, the slower I will write. This will take 25 minutes. The court is slow, so I’m going slow, I’m in no hurry,” Medvedev said before leaving the judge.
The referee advised the Russian to react more calmly to the pace of the pitch, as he was a pro, and Medvedev said, “I do not accept that. The certificate says these are hard courts. But that’s not the case.”
Medvedev defeated Ivashko, who is 85th in the rating of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) – 6:2, 3:6, 6:1.
The interview lasted 1 hour and 46 minutes. The Russian tennis player made eight aces, six doubles and also converted five of the 13 break points. Ivashko did not serve a single serve, made four double mistakes and converted a break point in seven.
In the next round of the tournament, Medvedev’s opponent will be the German Alexander Zverev.
