Daniil Medvedev went through a sheer rollercoaster during his US Open fortnight. The upcoming Russian started with the wrong foot with the New York fans after he trolled them after his (in)famous win over Feliciano Lopez. Daniil was booed loudly for snatching a towel from a ball boy and later he showed the middle finger to the fans.
However, the Russian made amend and he apologized profusely for his actions, and he made peace with the crowd.
Medvedev and the Hawaiian pizza
During the press conference following the US Open final. The Russian shared his thoughts for being so thin and if he eats pasta or pizza (the journalist who made the question was obviously Italian).
Daniil had still fresh in his mind what does it mean being booed to give the following (hilarious) answer:
“I eat a lot of pasta. I try not to eat too much pizza. But Hawaiian one, I’m sorry. I know Italians would usually boo me for this but I like Hawaiian pizza.”
You can’t disagree with that.
