Medvedev: 'It's been the best weeks in life.But if I had lost this final..'
Daniil Medvedev feels proud with his triumph in Cincinnati. The Russian said: "I have to say even if I wouldn't have finished with the trophy, they were amazing and the best in my life. But of course I think with the trophy is better. Especially if I would have lost three finals in a row, I would have not doubted myself but, like, started asking myself how is it possible, three finals, lost all of them? What should I do differently in the final? And finally I don't have to ask myself these questions because, well, I won the final. Yeah, it's been the best weeks in my life. I mean, as I say, mentality was the best in my life. My serve was the best in my life. My tennis was really consistent. I didn't have one bad match. I'm just extremely happy. And hopefully I can continue this way well through all my career but hopefully at least next few weeks (smiling)."
On his celebration, falling on the ground after the match point, Medvedev added: "If you would have asked me before the tournament how would I celebrate, I'd probably say, Yeah, I'm going to fall on the court, I'm gonna start screaming and jumping and then raising my hands up. I was so exhausted during all the match, to be honest. And especially 5-3, I started cramping everywhere. Of course I tried to not show it. This last game, 15-40, I cramp everywhere. I say, Okay, if it's 5-All, what do I do? And I make four amazing serves. And when I make the last one, I'm like, Wow, it's finished. And I had no, zero force inside of me to do anything. It is how it is (smiling)."
