“It’s an incredibly challenging experience,” he expressed confidently.
And then there’s Andrey Rublev, another talented player from Russia, who perceives grass as a perplexing and anxiety-inducing variation of tennis, characterized by short rallies and seemingly illogical outcomes.
“You can feel so assured, but once you step on the court, your opponent unexpectedly serves four aces, returns two shots flawlessly, and breaks your serve, leading to the end of the set,” Rublev explained. “And perhaps there are times when you feel incredibly tense, unable to move or place a single ball within the court. Yet, your opponent serves two double faults, the ball hits the frame of your racket and miraculously goes in, resulting in you breaking their serve and winning the set.”
Medvedev doesn’t believe that participating in the preparatory grass tournaments significantly impacts his performance. He points out that the grass surfaces in Germany, the Netherlands, and various locations in England differ from one another. He added that while the field courts at the All England Club are extremely fast, the stadium courts are slower.
Will he ever grow accustomed to playing on grass? After securing victory in the second round on Friday, he expressed that he may be gradually adapting.
“Perhaps I’m at the doorstep,” he mused. “Not quite inside yet, but near.”
Regarding Ruud, he acknowledged after his defeat that he will continue striving, but winning Wimbledon may not be within his grasp. Each time he unleashes his formidable forehand, he fears he may stumble and sustain an injury due to the nature of his movements while trying to chase the subsequent shot.
Nevertheless, he did participate in the men’s doubles tournament, allowing him to stay on a little longer before returning to clay court tennis in Europe later this month.
Possibly, he has an incentive beyond tennis. The Weeknd was set to perform in London this weekend.
