Chris Evert stated that Daniil Medvedev certainly adds personality to the game of tennis. The former world number one believes that the Russian plays every match wearing his heart on the sleeve. He demonstrates pure emotions, and is a true warrior in every sense. Chris Evert also heaped praise on Medvedev’s incredible shot-making skills, and the variety of tricks he could pull off.

But I think it adds a lot of personality to the game of tennis, and he’s not afraid to wear his personality or his heart on his sleeve. I think it’s good to have all those varieties. His game is wonderful to watch. At times, you can’t believe the shots that he pulls out of the hat. He’s very unpredictable in his shot-making. He’s got the power and he’s got the movement,” said Evert.

Daniil Medvedev’s incredible winning run came to an end last week, as he was humbled by Carlos Alcaraz in the finals of the Indian Wells Masters.
