Although he separated others from stalwarts like Ben Shelton, and Arthur Fils, even Djokovic couldn’t stand higher than him. Medvedev said- “ I think because they’re at the top, there is not much difference between me, even Novak, & them. The difference is that Novak has won 24 Grand Slams. When they play one on one, as we saw, he can lose. So there is not much different.”

However, Medvedev points out one difference when he speaks about starting the game slowly whereas others did a great job at 19. But he liked the fact that he had a slow but poised start in tennis.

Although Danii Medvedev truly has a big motivation while he positions himself with Sinner, Djokovic, Rune, and Alcaraz, his fans are not at all supportive of that. In fact, people think that such comments represent Medvedev as a clown- “A clown  with a very big mouth.” Tennis fans commented about how his remarks express that Medvedev is clueless about tennis.

Nobody supported Danii when he spoke about his equal skill with Djokovic- “I’m sorry Daniil but that’s a reach.” People didn’t like Djokovic being compared to Medvedev at all.

In a nutshell, Medvedev’s comment seemed quite weird to many tennis fans as they opposed Djokovic’s comparison with newcomer players.
