Daniil Medvedev advanced to the US Open semifinals in brutal heat but said, 'A player is going to die' playing in these conditions.
After his 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 victory, Medvedev expounded: “I could talk a lot, brutal conditions for both of us. I mean, I don’t know if it could be seen through the camera, because we are sweating so much and use a lot of towels, I have no skin left on my nose here, and, like, here it’s red, but it’s not because of the sun so it’s not like you’re burned but I have no skin left. I just saw Andrey in the locker room and his face very red, and it’s also not because of the sun so I guess it’s the same.
“The only good thing I see in these conditions is that both suffer,” said Medvedev. “Usually there is not one that suffers so it’s tough for both of us. Asked if he had any suggestions on how to improve conditions, Medvedev said, “The thing is that I’m not sure what can we do. Because probably we cannot stop the tournament for four days because it’s been what, three, four days it’s been brutal like this, because then it basically ruins everything, the TV, even the tickets, everything. It ruins everything.”
“Maybe I’m going to finish my career and nothing is gonna happen and then it’s fine, then I’m talking for nothing, but the question is we don’t want something to happen and then say, Oh, my God, Medvedev said this a couple of years ago,” he said.
