The players are out on the court. Medvedev won the toss and chose to receive without thinking twice.
I should note that Nadal leads the head-to-head 2-0, but so far this week, head-to-heads haven’t meant much.
Medvedev with his own struggles since his title in 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, and 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.
That’s what I’m missing right now, and that’s what I’m going to try to work on and still have two matches to come. Hopefully can play them better than today. But as I say, I have to say I’m positive about the way I played today. 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.
