Daniil Medvedev bites back at Stefanos Tsitsipas

Daniil Medvedev bites back at Stefanos Tsitsipas, saying: ‘I can’t take him seriously anymore’

Daniil Medvedev has escalated his war of words with Stefanos Tsitsipas as the two youngsters look to sow the seeds for a lengthy rivalry.

Tsitsipas was beaten by eventual winner Medvedev at the Shanghai Masters last week, and immediately lashed out at the Russian’s playing style when completing his post-match media duties.

“Well, I don’t mean to be rude at all, actually, at all, but it’s just boring,” Tsitsipas said of Medvedev. “It’s boring. It’s so boring.

“So he has a huge serve, and if you manage to get it back, it’s just countless balls inside the court, which you have, the only way you have to, you can do is hit as hard as you can side to side, be accurate, and make him move.

“Otherwise you can just play it back to him and play it again and play it again. It just keeps coming back, keeps coming back.”

However, speaking to reporters in his native Russia, Medvedev aimed a stinging broadside at Tsitsipas, saying: “Every tennis player can say something nasty about some other player.

“Tsitsipas also gave another interview during Shanghai, if I am not mistaken.

“He was asked how he celebrated the victory at the Laver’s Cup. Not only me, but many Russian and international tennis players laughed at his answer.

“After that interview I stopped taking Tsitsipas seriously.” Medvedev stated.

“He said, that he was forced to drink alcohol. Well, nothing serious, but then he said: “Mother, do you hear it? They forced me to drink! It was disgusting, I can show you the video”.

“That is not funny. I don’t take him seriously after that.”

Tsitsipas’ has a disappointing record of five losses in five matches against Medvedev, and that’s a record that it is tough to see changing any time soon given the Russian’s outstanding form of late.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
