A curious story that sees the protagonists Jannik Sinner And Daniil Medvedev, the finalists of the Australian Open which marked the first victory in a Slam for the blue. In fact, the Russian tennis player, on the official profile of ATP Touranswered the questions posed to him by some of his most famous colleagues, including, of course, the number two in the world, Jannik Sinner.
“How can you respond from so far away in the field?“, asked the South Tyrolean to Medvedev, referring to the peculiar response style of the Russian, who often finds himself a few centimeters from the barriers placed at the end of the pitch (a characteristic, that of Daniil, much debated on the circuit). Curious Medvedev’s response was funny and amused: “I think Jannik is so talented… yes Jannik, you are really talented and you can try playing like this too. You will see that you will be able to do it“.
But not only that, the Russian then raised some doubts: “I’m not sure you need it with your game. It’s easy when you return from so far away to hit the ball higher over the net harder. And in any case it will certainly bounce before the opponent’s baseline, because you are so far away that it is really difficult to make mistakes. That’s why I play like this, “explained Medvedev” revealing “the reasons for his trick.

An answer, that of Daniil, which is a real trademark.
