Russian tennis star Daniil Medvedev has backed himself as a contender for the upcoming Madrid Open, despite his previous struggles on clay courts. The world No. 3 has acknowledged that Madrid’s conditions are different from other clay court tournaments and could work in his favor. Medvedev has had a slow start to the clay court season, losing in the quarter finals of the Monte Carlo Masters. However, the 27-year-old believes that the altitude and harder surface in Madrid could suit his game better.

In an interview ahead of the tournament, Medvedev said, “What I see from results of many people, I should be able to actually play better here than maybe other clay court tournaments.” He added, “So far, I was not able to do it. But every year is a new opportunity. This year is another one, and I’m going to try to just play my best and hopefully play some good tennis.”

Medvedev’s confidence is not misplaced, given his impressive record on hard courts, including reaching the Australian Open final earlier this year. Madrid’s clay courts are known for playing faster than other clay court surfaces, which could suit Medvedev’s attacking style of play. Despite not having a great record on clay, Medvedev has been working hard to improve his game on the surface.

Medvedev’s backing of himself as a contender for the Madrid Open is a sign of his determination to improve his game on clay and challenge the top players on all surfaces. With his talent and work ethic, he could certainly be a force to be reckoned with in Madrid and beyond. Tennis fans will be eagerly watching to see how he performs in the tournament.
