Currently at Number. 17, the 29-year-old Canadian faced a hard time reconciling the score. Following their match, he shed light on his experience of playing behind closed doors and strict quarantine.

On the other hand, the 23-year-old Russian remained confident and excited about what lay ahead for him. He said, “was shaky here and there but really happy to be through to the finals.”

Talking about his opponent, he said, “When you play with Milos Raonic, you are always at risk. Because one time he breaks you, it’s very tough to come back.”

The Canadian professional, however, is not looking forward to his time in tennis. At the other end, Daniil has increased his chances of winning the Masters 1000 title.

“Mathematically, it’s 50% chance”: Medvedev on winning Paris Bercy

The Russian has previously mastered two ATP Masters 1000 tournaments – Shanghai and Cincinnati. Making a comeback deep in 2020, Daniil will look to imprint his name in Paris.

However, the challenge is many times stronger than all his previous opponents combined. Zverev, who has never won in Paris, will demand tough answers from the Russian in the final.

Without any denial of his competition, he added, “I always take it 50-50 as there are two players, so only one can win. Mathematically, its 50% chance. Of course, it’s never easy but that’s what I am going to give myself.” 

Despite the unfavorable conditions and no extra source of energy, Rolex Paris Masters 2020 has offered some great tennis. Moreover, the final will indeed be its biggest game.
