 | | Servara about Medvedev’s hard season: when you do not win, you get tired, you do not get pleasure from everything that happens around19.02.2025 |
Gilles Servar appreciated the game and results of Daniil Medvedev in 2024. - It seems that it was the hardest season for you from a mental point of view. Daniel often said that he was tired of mentally.
-every season Medvedev is mentally difficult-both for him and for the team, ha ha. This is what you need to accept when you train the champions. Daniel wants to win every tournament in which he takes part, a drama is added to our work during matches. Because in training everything happens quite easily.
- How did you react to Medvedev’s mental failures this year? After the match with Taylor Fritz at the ATP final championship in Turin, he admitted that he had not experienced the pleasure of tennis for several months.
- When you do not win, you get tired, you do not get pleasure from everything that is happening around, from what you are doing. This is part of life. This is what you need to understand and accept. You need to try to believe people around you, talk to them, pronounce. It helps to see good things in the worst. Even when everything plunges into the darkness. After the match with Fritz, I said: I`m sure you are smart enough to understand that it was very bad in your performance. You must also understand that it was not you - only part of you, which now suffers, which has no solution inside. But you are smart enough to understand that this cannot continue.
- How to work with a person who, after US Open, told you that he does not enjoy tennis?
- this is normal - sometimes lose pleasure when you train and compete every day. We must try to look for the right balance in life, look for the right path of restoration, and not waste energy. When you feel that other tennis players are stronger than you in the moment, this also takes your strength and confidence from you. All this together forced Daniel not to feel the joy of tennis. But for this he has us to look for solutions.
- maybe it was worth taking a break after US Open until the end of the season to heal the shoulder to the end, to correct mental problems? Or is it impossible?
- it would be hard. Yes, and there was no need for this. Everything was not so bad. After US Open, Daniil held a good Asian series, played a good Beijing tournament. The same thing was in Shanghai, where, unfortunately, he felt pain in his shoulder a day before the match with Sinner. Yes, after Shanghai there was a tournament in Bersi, but it was always given to Daniel hard. Globally - nothing crazy happened, ”Servara said in an interview with the championship.
