Daniil Medvedev beleives tha given his phisical conditions, Novak Djokovic is not anymore the French Open favorite, but either Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. When aked during the press conference tha followed his loss against Alex De Minaur, Medvedev commented.
“Well, you know, I always think predictions are a little bit disrespectful, because when you say someone, it’s like you’re a bit underestimating the other guys. But I would say that statistically — well, I saw Novak struggling with his leg or something, so this, I don’t know. At the moment seeing Novak struggling with his leg, I would say Carlos or Jannik because they are both playing good.
Jannik had a tough one yesterday, managed to come back. So it’s just, you know, statistically, they both have a slam, they have experience. They are top 2, 3 in the world, so my opinion, Carlos or Jannik. But let’s see.”
