“On clay I personally feel like I’m playing, honestly, the best level of my life on clay, even considering Rome title [that I won in 2023],” Medvedev said. “A lot of things came together.” Medvedev was asked if he felt different at the majors these days, compared to most of the last five years, which saw him enter the Grand Slams as a top five seed.
“If we talk about the game, like the movement, the game, the feeling of the game, I do think I [am playing] my best season on clay,” he said. “So it’s tough for me to answer.”
Medvedev, who is 18-10 on the season with semifinals in Marseille and Indian Wells, has not won a title in over two years, when he won his lone Masters 1000 title on clay at Rome.
“On hard courts it’s easier for me to answer that, yes, I’m far from the Daniil that I was on hard courts,” he said. “On clay I feel like I’m even better than before. So that’s all I can answer. That’s good for Roland Garros because I’ll try to show it.”
Medvedev will face Great Britain’s Cameron Norrie in the first round in Paris.
