This probably just one of the many friendly banters between the 2 players who are probably training extremely hard right now. They are finally going to play professional tennis again after a long time as the ATP Tour released a new schedule for a lot of events. And this schedule is a very grueling one.
There are going to be events played almost every single week and the 2 Grand Slams – The US Open and the French Open are going to be played in almost the same month. In addition to all of this, the expectations are very high for Daniil and Andrey as they are NextGen players.
