Our wish is about to come true with Meddy winning

Occhio! Don't jinx it.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Being heavy conditions in Rome it is hard for players to hit through the court

 

[Moxie]

OK, what was THAT little victory jig?

 

[don_fabio]

Meddy dance ROFL!!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Meddy Forza!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

If Meddy wins Rome he will be ranked the No 2 player
Forza Meddy
Remember he has never past round 1 in Roma before

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

So with that win, that should shut up people saying he cant play on clay lol!

I think the only person that thinks Medvedev can't play on clay is Medvedev.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Maybe Meddy will reveal what the dance is about lol!
Apparently he said he has danced on court before I dont remember still he is such a character and wont put up Rune's rubbish in their match lol! taking MTO's oh wait according to his fans all player do it and we will have to wait till he matures? LOL! I have never heard of such rubbish, whatever.

Concerning stat for Stef
Zero top 10 wins in 2023, going into a major at RG dosent do well for his chances

Meddy BH is far better than his dance moves. He needs to hit up Le Monf or this kid for a lesson or 2.

Watched the highlights, Medvedev looked fierce, but why was he shouting Allez when he won a point. That’s French. I thought Russians shout “Sputnik!”?

He also speaks French fluently he has lived in France for a long time

I think his mom is French

Both Daniil Medvedev's parents are Russian, they moved to France so Daniil could train at age 14 in a French Academy

Exactly. Credit to him he learned French, which is not easy. Side-bar: These tennis players never cease to astonish me with, aside from being tennis players, how many languages they have to learn. Even their own and English is a lot.

I know only too well, learning English was difficult for me, a lot of slang in the language, tennis players move around and live in different parts of the world, so to learn a new language must not be easy

He is inspired by Rafa's accomplishments in Paris France so the little bit of french cheering is a tribute for Rafa.

This 2023 Roland Garros will be the first time, without Rafa or Roger since 1998
