World No. 11 Daniil Medvedev commented on his victory over Alexander Muller in the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters (7-6(6), 5-7, 6-2).
In the second set, the Russian player missed the opportunity to serve for the match when leading 5-4.
– What happened when you were serving for the match in the second set?
– It`s clay. I served two first serves at 30:30, but it just happened. Today I watched the second set of Gasquet`s match – everyone was breaking serve. It`s difficult for everyone to hold their serve on clay.
At that moment, the balls were already very old. You know there will be a rally, and it`s harder for you to serve than to return, especially when serving for the match. I`m glad I managed to win in the third set.
