Daniil Medvedev responds to Novak Djokovic’s comments about the conditions in Shanghai after beating Stefanos Tsitsipas

Daniil Medvedev advanced to the quarterfinals of the Shanghai Masters by defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4, 7-5 in 84 minutes on the Stadium court. This victory marks the fourth time in his last five visits to the tournament that the Russian has reached this stage, extending his career head-to-head lead over the Greek to 11-5.

Medvedev noted that the surface on the Stadium court felt significantly faster than the Grandstand court where he had played his previous two matches, a difference he had initially doubted after hearing Novak Djokovic describe the conditions as much quicker than those in Beijing. The Russian explained that the rapid pace forced him to adjust his strategy, leading him to play more aggressively and apply heavy pressure to secure the win.

He expressed satisfaction with his performance, highlighting his strong serving and the fact that he did not face any break points during the match.
