Russian No. 1 Daniil Medvedev has surprises in store for every game he plays at Indian Wells. The Russian tennis player played a difficult match today but, as usual, showed a colossal level in the most difficult conditions. In the quarterfinals, he defeated Alexander Davidovich Fokina with the score of 6: 3 and 7: 5, but at some point his victory was seriously in doubt. The Russian fell again: in a match with Alexander Zverev, the Russian twisted his ankle, and in a meeting with Fokina he broke his thumbnail on his right hand.
The Russian started bleeding and sought medical attention, but also got angry at the use of rackets. The former world number one who wore the headband didn’t feel comfortable with the grips.
He addresses referee Mohamed Lahyani: “I want to use this racket, but I can’t play like this. Can I change the flu, or what is the rule? Unable to change it, Medvedev angrily sat down, changed his bandage. In any case, the injured Russian tennis player won again, and for the 18th consecutive.
