‘Bring Me Rafa!’ Daniil Medvedev confident ahead of his semifinal match against Rafael Nadal

After stomping on Alexander Zverev in the title clash of the Paris Masters 2020, Daniil Medvedev has been in top-notch form. Starting his London campaign with a victory over the German again, followed by upsetting World No.1, Novak Djokovic in straight sets to book a spot in the semi-finals against Rafael Nadal, the Russian is on top of the world.

Medvedev feels that it’s time he seals a victory over the Spaniard who he thinks is one of the best tennis players in the history of the sport.

“Rafa is one of the best tennis players in the history of sport,” Medvedev said.

“Of course I want to get a win against Rafa. I still don’t have one. So, yeah, as I say, no matter who I play, I’m gonna be happy to face him,” the Russian added.

Post his unusual win over Djokovic, Medvedev felt that the year-end World No.1 for a record six times was not on his best display of tennis.

“To be completely honest, I am sure he didn’t play his best today. But still, it happens to everybody,” Medvedev said after his win.

The Russian further went on to say, “I always say the Big Three are the champions because it happens less to them than to other players.”

“It is still tough to beat them, even on their bad days so I am really happy about the win. I am feeling good and confident right now,” he added.
