Speaking about adjusting his expectations ahead of the new season in his post-match press conference, Medvedev said he was always working hard irrespective of how low or high the expectations surrounding him are.

He added:

Medvedev beat Khachanov 6-3, 6-3 to progress to the semifinals of the ATP 250 event, where he will face World No. 5 Novak Djokovic. Addressing his performance on the day, Medvedev said he was “pretty happy” with his level despite it not being his strongest match.

Medvedev was down a break early in the second set, but bounced back in style to win five straight games from 1-3 to seal the tie.
