“I love a New York crowd.” — Daniil Medvedev

For me, the most exciting thing about Laver Cup is always the team spirit, because it's very rare that I get to play team competitions in tennis.

Novak, when he loses, he's never the same after. So he's different. It's just a different mentality. That's why he has 23 Grand Slams, whatever, Masters 1000s, weeks at No. 1.

I didn't have a lot of arms, weapons, to win when we were really young, like 9, 10 years. I didn't have any weapons to win the match sometimes. I was always on practice trying to play aggressive, maybe going to the net and stuff like this.

I want to win the U.S. Open. I don't care if it's in the final against a qualifier or against Novak. I just want to win this tournament.
