How many tennis players have any winning record against #1s, in fairness? And he was playing Monfils, who is playing like the talented player that he is, and with a new attitude towards aggressiveness. I think Medvedev has a lot in his head right now, but he'll come back to Earth before too long, I believe.
I am actually being serious here, the only player who on the top of my head has a winning record against Number 1 ranked players: Jiri Vesely
There's a handful I can think of w/ a pretty decent record against #1s. Vesely, Dominic, RBA, Nicky
Right, but that's a "handful." At least Gael had even done it once. To sneer at Daniil for losing to a player with a "dismal record" v. #1s is to spin it rather wrongly, IMO. I think Monfils wasn't a great draw for him today, even before the match started. An experienced player, not cowed by a top guy, with a game to match him trick-for-trick. He could have done worse than lose to Monfils today. He could have done like Novak and lost to #123 in the world, as Djokovic did in Dubai. Vesely may be a giant killer, (to Novak,) but he hasn't done much else, or surely compared to Monfils.
Yes. The New York Knickerbockers. Knicks for short
Thanks Ben Stiller was on Twitter and said they are the same colours Rafa is wearing at IW?
Of course we Rafa fans are always correct no?
