Medvedev Hopes to Find Missing Mojo Ahead of Nadal Rematch
The Russian admits he's still searching for momentum after a loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas in London.
Daniil Medvedev‘s debut at the Nitto ATP Finals did not go as planned, as the Russian was toppled in straight sets by Stefanos Tsitsipas, but the ATP’s win leader and 2019 US Open finalist hopes that he can find his best tennis by Wednesday when he is set to take on World No.1 Rafael Nadal in round robin play at the 02 Arena.
Medvedev, who had only played one match since winning his second Masters 1000 title at Shanghai in October, said he is having difficulty locating the level that saw him win 29 of 32 matches and reach six consecutive finals from the beginning of the US hard court summer through Shanghai.
“I'm struggling a little bit with finding back my level I had in USA and Shanghai and St. Petersburg, which is, I should say, I think normal for any sportsman,” he told reporters after his loss to Tsitsipas on Monday. “That's what is amazing about top 3, big 3 and Murray before, that even when you kind of look at them and you think, ‘okay, they are not playing as good as they can, they still win these matches.’”
Medvedev, who leads that ATP with 59 wins, owns eight Top 10 wins in 2019. He says he can take some positives from his play on Monday. “I have to say I'm positive about the way I played today,” he said. “Of course I hate to lose, so I'm really disappointed to lose, but hopefully I can make it better in the next two matches.”
He’s not worried about getting his top level back, but the World No.4 admits that he can’t just snap his fingers and make it happen.
“I lost the momentum a little bit, but [I will] try my best to get it back,” he said. “I should say I'm quite confident that at one moment I will get it back. The other question is is it going to be this tournament or the next one?”
His rematch of the 2019 US Open final with Nadal appears very tough on paper, but it must also be said that Nadal struggled mightily in his first match on Monday in London. He was blitzed by Alexander Zverev, and while he said he felt fit, he was clearly off his game. The Spaniard hit just three forehand winners against 14 for Zverev in the match.

Medvedev has lost both his meetings with Nadal, but he made major improvements in their second meeting. He took Nadal to five sets in the US Open final just a few weeks after winning just three games against the Spaniard in a lopsided loss at Montreal.
"I didn't have good energy enough to get the win today," Medvedev added. "But honestly, the way I was practicing last few weeks, I should say, I really lost a little bit the level I was playing, so I should say it was positive today, and I'm quite happy with the way I played regarding my last performances mostly on practices."
Man Gets Dangerously Close to a Mature Buck, Provokes a Snort-Wheeze
That snort wheeze is telling you something and you had better respect it. The snort wheeze sound is an intimidation call, and it’s a vocalization that needs to be seriously respected.

Marriage a Distraction? Nadal Hits Back at Nosy Journalist
The Spaniard had little patience for a reporter who wanted to ask about his marriage.Rafael Nadal was not pleased to take a question about his marriage and whether or not he had ever been distracted by his relationship with his wife Xisca. Surely, he wouldn’t mind discussing the subject in a less antagonistic manner, but when a journalist asked “I’d like to know if your concentration on tennis life has been different, even if you were going out with the same girl for many, many years,” Nadal had trouble believing that he was taking a serious question.
"We move to Spanish now because that's bull****"

First, the annoyed Spaniard asked the journalist if he was indeed serious, and then, not long after, he ended the press conference by calling Bull****.
In between, Nadal had some words of wisdom.
“Doesn’t matter if you put a ring on your finger or not,” he said.
Nadal will face Daniil Medvedev in London on Wednesday as he battles Novak Djokovic for the year-end No.1 ranking in London.
The Spaniard, who fell in straight sets to Alexander Zverev on Monday, told reporters that he is not experiencing any issues with the abdominal injury that kept him out of the semifinals at the Paris Masters.
“I did not feel pain in the abdominal at all,” Nadal said after the match. “We can find reasons or excuses, but at the end of the day, [what] really matters is I need to play much better in two days after tomorrow. That's the only thing.”
