Medvedev’s eagerness to make the final demonstrates the confidence and drive that distinguishes top-level sportsmen. He is well aware, however, of the daunting challenge given by his fellow competitors, “At the same time, as I said, there are a lot of great players in the box. It is very hard, it is as if it were the draw of a Masters 1000 or a Grand Slam.“

Continuing his train of thought, he further added, “In a way, it’s even stronger than a Grand Slam, where you don’t have such complicated first rounds. It’s going to be very interesting, I think it’s very rare to see such a strong ATP 500, it will be interesting to see. I think we are going to see different results among the seeded players, many of them can lose in the first round, there is no easy game here.”

Medvedev’s words highlight the immense depth of quality competing in the China Open, where no match is easy, even in the early rounds. The tournament is expected to attract some of the world’s best tennis players, creating a climate of strong competitiveness from the start.
