Russia’s Medvedev made a triumphant return to the court after failing to play at Wimbledon.

The world leader won the tournament in Los Cabos (Mexico) at the end of last week without losing a single set.

Danilo Medvedev says the break caused by the Wimbledon ban helped him prepare for the US Open

“I had nothing to do. I was banned from Wimbledon and had to play by the rules.

I don’t want to focus on the negative. I wanted to play at Wimbledon, but that was the situation.

You can’t constantly be in that circle of “What a tragedy that I wasn’t there.”

I was able to prepare really well for the US Open, which you usually can’t do because you’re playing at Wimbledon.

I feel 100% physically and mentally ready” – Daniil MedvedevReuters reports.

Between August 29 and September 11, Daniil Medvedev will try to defend his title at the last Grand Slam of the year, the US Open.
