Medvedev: Djokovic and Goffin were destroying my second serves, then...
Daniil Medvedev thinks that he has learned from his loss to David Goffin in Wimbledon. The Russian took the revenge in Cincinnati. "Like against Djokovic, at one moment he started destroying my second serves, so I went for the bigger one and it was working better. So already before the match, I was thinking maybe I should do it," said Medvedev. "And I think I did it in the first game of the match may be, and I mean, when you're feeling that confident, as I was these three weeks, everything you do is working. I made, I think, my first tweener point win against Karen in my life. So as I say, everything is working. That's why I was sure about myself when I was doing it. And as you see, even 15-40 in the last game of the match, I managed to do it, also."
Asked if he looks at the live rankings, Medvedev, who is now No. 5, said: "Sometimes. I don't know what is a lot. I don't check them every two minutes, but sometimes when I get into semis or finals, I'm starting looking, okay, where I am and what I can do. But it never puts pressure on me. As you see here, if I didn't win today I would be No. 7, now I'm No. 5, but I managed to win."
