The Russian hopes to do better than his quarter-final run last year. While he doesn’t claim to be a clay-court specialist, the 29-year-old is gradually improving on the surface. \n\nIn an interview shared by Tennis World Italia, the world No. 11 spoke about his current mindset: \n\n\"What I love about my career is that you’ve seen me since I was 14, 18, and 21. I’ve always played decent tennis, but I don’t think people believed I’d become No. 1 or win a Grand Slam. \n\nRight now, I’m almost at 100%. It’s a matter of confidence—it’s no longer about tennis, it’s not a training issue, but about self-belief. That comes with wins, so we need to keep winning.\"","author_id":178688,"author_name":"Arthur Millot","author_login":"Arthur Millot","author_logo":null,"type":"flash","image":"gjEU.jpg","imageUrl":"https://cdn.tennistemple.com/images/upload/bank/gjEU.jpg","views":{"app":"739","recent":"101","total":"2773","web":"2034","hourly":"101","hour":"101"},"cached":1745643980814,"linked":[{"type":"players","id":"3714"},{"type":"games","id":"9418281"},{"type":"competitions","id":"84568"}],"title":"Medvedev discusses his current form: \"It's not about tennis, but mainly about confidence\" "}},"topics":{}}
