The Russian lost on the night of Sunday to Monday in the final against Novak Djokovic.
Daniil Medvedev, who lost Sunday in the final of the US Open against Novak Djokovic 6-3, 7-6 (7/5), 6-3, regretted not having been able to seize his chance in the second set where he “dominated». «It’s really a shame that I didn’t win this second set because I had him by the throat, in a way I dominated him. I should have done better,” commented the Russian. “I was a little stubborn in return. I probably should have changed my position (extremely far behind the baseline, editor’s note), but I thought it was going to work like that and I was going to get it to work. But when the set was lost, I told myself that I had been too stubborn and that I should have done things differently“, he acknowledged.
“I have regrets”
«So yes, I definitely have regrets. I should have won this second set. But sometimes tennis is not easy. Obviously, I should have passed along the line and not crossed, but I had two options and I chose the wrong one.“, he developed. “Generally speaking, this second set is the one I played the best… and I lost it. So at the end of the day, it’s normal that the match turned out this way because in the first and third sets he was better than me and there’s not much to say. But if I had won the second, maybe the rest of the match could have been different“, he concluded.
