You just have to return everything on the line, jump to the net, make drop shot volleys, winner, and it pretty easy to beat me.

Though he won the match against Paul, the Russian recalled how he was about to go for a bagel set. Nonetheless, Medvedev managed to fend off the American and win the match at Indian Wells. Well, this was definitely perfect advice for the young Canadian, who has lost many close encounters with Medvedev.
