Like all tennis gamers, Daniil Medvedev is trying to find methods to shore up any unfastened ends in his recreation. The Russian stated he just lately switched strings to be able to carry out higher in gradual situations, and whereas he was stuffed with doubts after making the change, these worries are behind him now.
Speaking to reporters on the BNP Paribas Open, the place he’s slated to face American Brandon Nakashima within the second spherical, Medvedev talked a bit concerning the adjustments he made.

Medvedev was requested about why he has had a lot success in his return video games of late, and once more he introduced up the strings.
“We always work on everything with my coach but we didn’t specifically work on the return,” he stated. “Again I do think the strings, I changed them so now the ball goes even easier from my racquet and I don’t feel like I lost a lot of control. It could help, because especially with my deep position now I can get more easy power to put the ball longer so at least my opponent can’t attack me.”
It will not be clear precisely when he switched strings, or what strings he’s utilizing, however we’ll work to get that data from Medvedev quickly.
Medvedev comes into Indian Wells driving a 14-match successful streak, having gained titles in Rotterdam, Doha and Dubai. He is 6-5 lifetime within the California desert, and misplaced final yr within the third spherical to Gael Monfils.
