Medvedev will now face Alexander Zverev in a blockbuster fourth-round clash as the German continues his comeback from a horror injury he picked up at last year’s French Open which ended his 2022 season. “I think we know each other very well. Every match against such a top player is a new start. Every match he tries to adapt, I try to adapt,” Medvedev said of their match-up.
“I remember he did very well in Turin to beat me. Like he played, first of all, he was serving great, so that’s the key for him. I think he’s a little bit less important here in Indian Wells probably. But I’m sure we’re gonna have a lot of rallies, lots of rallies. It’s gonna come down to who makes, again after like 20 shots, the best shot to try to put your opponent off balance, which is not easy to do here.”
Medvedev thought Zverev wasn’t back to his best yet and wanted to postpone the world No 14’s return to form. “So he’s coming back, he’s playing better and better. I think he’s not yet at where he was when he got injured, but every new match against a top player is an opportunity for him to bring back this level. So I’m gonna have to try to play my best, and postpone it for at least next tournament,” he concluded.
