Don't let the crowd and disrepect of some men destroy you Daniil. There are plenty of fans that love you, don't let this experience be the end of the little kid's dream.

I'm a rafael nadal supporter, but I have a lot of respect for Medvedev who had an incredible match.

im with you !!! GRANDE MEDVEDEV !!!!!!

To those that didn't see this young man interview after the match, go see it. This young man is quite an example. Watch the little story he starts the interview with. Quite mature, humble and for those who understand English, try to understand what he means when he says "that little boy is no longer a dreamer. From now on I'll play for myself ''. It's sad to see how we let politics in to sport.

Even though I disagree with the russian politics I'd NEVER judge Medved based on my political views on Russia. Politics and sport just DON'T GO TOGETHER. It's not fault of Russians, who are extremelly kind-hearted and benign that their political leaders are controversial. Daniil is a guy who'd you want to have a beer with! An humble, kind and extremelly talended guy who'll win the Grandslam as soon as possible. And he can be sure, the support comes not only from Russia, but from the Czech Republic as well...as for me for example. :)

As a Nadal fan, I completely agree that crowd was more supportive for Rafa and booing constantly and being disrespectful to Medvedev. But I also have to admit that Daniil is really 'dangerous' tennis player. His backhand is huge and powerful, his poker face is so stunning and he is always trying to play with cold head which makes him really good. Not to forget, he never seems tired and he does not give up at all in rallys and during points. Sometimes he has weird and funny moments, but overall he is the future number 1 and hard court king. My hot take is that he will be way better than Djokovic and one of those guys who will dominate on Tour for a long time along Tsitsipas, Zverev and Rublev. Long way ahead of you Daniil and keep up the good work!

Respect your decision Daniil 💪👏

I am an Asian woman.Never have Russian or any nationality. And I like you very much Medvedev. I love to watch tennis not the wars between the country.

This kind of "lads on a holiday" crowd is something totally new. I've followed tennis and AO for decades and have never experienced this kind of behavior in this scale. But perhaps it's the last two years. People have been locked in their cages and this is some sort of a primal reaction when the gate is finally opened. Many people weren't there for the game itself but for other, personal reasons of self-indulgence.

Spot on from Daniil. Deserves much more respect and the hypocrisy of the crowd in this matter also annoyed the heck out of me when I watched the match. Even the Eurosport commentator from the Dutch channel sounded extremely biased, screaming much louder when Rafa did a nice shot compared to the amazing shots Daniil showed. The biasedness is rooted deep within the world of tennis.

Даня, это было круто💪 очень жаль что, проиграл... Болели за тебя всей семьёй!

just like novak did, medi has to continue to play as amazing as he already does to build up his own fan community step by step - the journey of nole shows how hard that is. I also find this statement kind of contradictory to his other statements where he said that he gains more motivation and energy from a crowd that's not supporting him. On court there's a "I don't give a damn"-Daniil and a "I'm angry"-Daniil - very rarely you see him engaging with the (sometimes little) support of the crowd. Because he rarely does that, he can't expect the crowd and espacially not the big-three fan communities to objectively support players equally. If he keeps playing like this and becomes capable of only focusing and enganging with the crowd that supports him, he will gain more and more support and respect from crowds all arround the world.

Don’t let the haters get under your skin Daniil!! You are a great sportsman, and a great person, and even though it might not seem like you have, you do have an army of fans out there and around the world, and I am one of them! Rafa is an absolute beast, and you can never count him out, but the future is yours man! ♥️

Who wrote the title of the video didn't really undestand what medvedev was trying to say. Medvedev was just saying that he has been treated well only from russian people but *never said* he wasn't supported because he's from Russia. There is a big difference. Anyway he is right, during the final, even Nadal was trying to calm the crowd.

Daniil a really great tennis player!!

You have a remarkable game of tennis, trust and honour yourself and ignore but honour the crowd and they will start to support you. You deserve the support. This match will have earned you considerable kudos.

great greetings and respect for Danilo

Djokovic: welcome to the club Medvedev! 😂😂😂😂

Медведев настоящий. Этим хорош👍

Such a great guy Danil. I'm a Rafa fan, but i can totally relate to what you're saying. Crowd was horrible and im sorry u had to endure it. Dabayyy!!!!!

Actually, I find this surprising. Daniil has no problem with antagonizing the crowd and calling them out, therefore I find it strange he's waiting for their support. Even though he was right to call out the crowd, it's something that isn't necessarily going to make you popular or give new fans. It has nothing to do with him being Russian. If you want to be a 'bad guy', back it up by claiming it and don't look for excuses. It's the same with Novak. If you want the same love and support like Federer and Nadal, or even like Murray and Del Potro, act accordingly. If you feel you're right to act differently, then don't expect the same response from the crowd when it's easy to predict how you win/loose support.

It has nothing to do with being Russian. Marat Safin was loved in Australia. This guy made no effort to endear himself to the crowd the whole 2 weeks.

Russian hardbass the best suport from brother Serbia

Forget all those monkey's Danil ! You are a good guy, and we love to have you out there.

We love you Daniil ❤ Respect 🙏

You will be a champion very soon keep it going. Extremely good player also very open minded.

Nadal has been creating his hordes of fans for many Years, it is just that, nothing personal or about being Russian... Nadal is a beloved one, has been working hard on creating a Big mass of fans supporting him, he's been on court since 16 Years old, winning since 18,so he has many Years ahead of Medvédev.

Молодцы оба и Надаль и Медведев.И публику удовлетворили и денег заработали. Для любого теннисиста основная задача попасть в финал. Медведев и Надаль эту задачу для себя выполнили. Кто-то шёл к финалу легче, кто-то тяжелее это уже не важно.

I really dont get it with Australian crowed… This guy is so charismatic and likeable .. And very talented.. Even that we all respect and love Nadal , giving him that kind of pain is very rude and childish.. Nadal will always be people fav in this kind of matches but pls dont be rude the other players

Disheartening 💔

I like part of Medvedev - being outspoken and all. Honestly I quite enjoy his rants and outbursts ON court. And he backs it up with his game. He's quite the breath of fresh air that is needed in the current tennis scenario. But, he also needs to understand how the world works. Achievements alone do not win you hearts. Just like in the corporate world, competence and good stakeholders management skills are equally important. He needs to do some reflection on his own behaviour that contributes to the reaction of people towards him. Stop externalizing everything. His nationality has got nothing to do with it. That is simply not taking accountability of his actions. I am OK with him continuing being himself but he has got to be OK with the consequences. Accept the fact that not everyone is going to like you. You'll live better and will be at peace. Anyways, good luck Medvedev and hope to see you more.

"Empty brains... their lives must be very bad!" Daniil Medvedev maked his feelings clear about the Melbourne crowd in the final. There was a time for Rafa in Paris when the public supported his rival with their shouts and applause. He never showed anger and even less insulted the viewers. Therein lies the difference. Control your anger and win the affection of the public with respect!

Medvedev, you have the potential to win a lot of grand slams, it's a question of time and time is on your side. For sure people will change their minds about you when they'll asume the great player you are and how the big three say bye bye to the circuit. Meddy the future grand slams winner 🎾

Dont cry and get Up, keep go on.

A mi que me gusta ver jugar a tenis me ha dado una sorpresa Dani porque personalmente esa decision q esta tomando aunque pensandolo no deberia decirlo en estos dias porque suena a perdedor y deja a muchos fans tristes hay q respetarlo pero creo q sobraba decir q la pista de su pais es como mas dura porque cualquier dia puede ganarle otro jugador alli mismo

No doubt the crowds have been terrible at times, but I can't help but think there's also an element of Freudian transference going on here. The pressure of being number 1 seed and expected to win seems to have got to him. His behaviour during the tournament was weird - including that bizarre outburst in the Tsistipas match. He's finding out now what it's like not to have support as the underdog.

some ppl there they've no idea about Tennis ,, they were screaming before the serve and during the rallies if you gonna do that all the time why did you buy the ticket to watch tennis in the stadium !!!

Sharapova is also Russian and the crowd loved her. It is not about nationality.

The Mob is Rome. The Gladiator must understand that.

Take Novak as your example. He overcomes every kind of adversity.

Smart Guy

Daniil, don't stop your kid's dream,you just ignore the crowd and playing your best,the more they hate you the more you win,no doubt you will be successfully like Novak in the future.

Daniil you are number one but i think you had the chance to win but your volley game is not as crispy and sharp as your serve, forehand and backhand. Your are up for greatness but do work on getting better.

All least im sure you will win 9 more. And with 5 the people star to love you

Daniel is wrong. It has nothing to do with being Russian that they encourage you more or less. Your attitudes facing the public instead of winning it over do that, not that you are Russian. Nick Kirgyos also gets booed and it's not because he's Australian it's because he's dumb. It is not your case Daniil, you are a good guy but you must be more humble and respectful, with that you will win over the public, for sure. Values ​​and good example do not understand nationalities.

If you always taunt the crowd, you get reactions like this... But I understand that it is not nice of them but it works both ways ...

Oh what a suprice ...you think they would treat a Swedish player like that?

انا من مشجعي رافائيل نادال بالتأكيد ولكني احترمك جدآ دانيال واجدك لاعب مميز ولكن ارجو منك أن لاتدخل في مهاترات مع الجمهور لان الحضور ليس بمستوى ان يعرف حده كل الأشخاص لا تهتم وامضي قدما وفكر بكسب قلوب الناس كشغفك لكسب اي كأس وستجد الجمهور يهتف باسمك لان الكلام الطيب لا يذهب سدى

Don't think nationality is the issue. I think being purposefully arrogant and continually acting out throughout the tournament, then going up against one of the GOATs who's beloved by most crowds, you're going to get less support. Watch the Wimbledon 2019 final. The crowd was vicious with Djokovic and he NEVER acted the way Medvedev always does.

I am impartial here and admire the skill, athleticism, and excellence in any sport. Stay strong Medvedev. You are one of the best! The hell with the low IQ pricks in the crowd. They will never achieve what you have.

I don’t think this is about nationality, but about his opponent on the brink of history. Same happened at USO, where they were even cheering for Djokovic 🤔. If the opponent would have been, say, Berettini the crowd would have behaved very different than the disgusting way they did …

Medvedev Sometimes Expressed His Opinion Too Strongly And Too Loudly. The Supporters Probably Do Not Like That.

First final of Nadal in RG. Nothing more to say.

It’s not because you are Russian, it’s because you were playing against Nadal.

u will be number one soon, come on medvedev. don't care about western public in grand slam.

Watch some Rafa games in Roland garros before talking about crowd hostility, or even some matches against Federer before Rafa was the legend he is right now. Shut up and keep playing, you are too young and talented to play this game

Novak Djokovic felt the same. Don't give up, he didn't.

Tennis players should be able to play under their national flag or not. There should not be one rule for one and one rule for another. That would be as evil discrimination as no black in restaurants in America or No Jews in restaurants in Germany. Absolutely no moral difference. Just like the block people in America and Jews in Germany, the the players form Russia and Belarus are completely innocent in this discrimination.

Mate , in life you reap what you sow......if you want respect , give it , if you want empathy , have it. Stop insulting fans , players and officials alike . Stop mouthing behind organisers when they are giving a speech to honor the tournament that has just given you more money in two weeks than what l make in 15 years . You are mistakenly thinking that being a rebel makes you cool but hopefully this final has open your eyes. You can be a rebel with a cause , without it you are just a fool . A pitty , the best player in the roster once the big 3 fade away without a doubt

Daniil, you won the tournament for me! As a Novak Djokovic fan, I know how difficult it is to play against a rude audience that should not be allowed to play tennis matches, because they do not understand that tennis is a gentleman's sport! But it’s an audience that doesn’t like people because they’re champions, but because they’ve received the vaccine. And don't be interested in the opinion of those hypocrites, who condemn your behavior at the winner's ceremony. Your reaction has been human to the disgusting behavior of the audience since the start of the tournament. And unfortunately, he will behave like that whenever you play against players from the west. It's just about that. There is no fair play or anything else. Try to play for yourself and don't pay attention to them, as Novak has been doing all his career! Heads up, Champion!

Oh i forgot the him tried to clean his position the arrogant man vulgar like when him play long time ago a USA open

Is he chippy or what!! When Federer lost to Djokocovid in the 2019 Wimbledon final in five sets, the whole crowd was 99% Fed fans, to be top you have to overcome crowd predilections. Of course it doesn't help, if during the course of a tournament you start insulting the umpires in a fit of pique.

I think you are indeed entertaining and intelligent, but maybe you should study yourself when you loose control over your emotions. First then will you realize that peoples´dislike of you nothing has to do with you being from Russia.

Djokovic almost never had crowd support yet he became GOAT in stipe of that. Wimbledon 2019 springs back in mind as one of most recent examples. Medvedev will have to up his mental power if he wants to emulate Nokak.

Deported number 1 and psy-ops on number 2.....hollow victory and Aussie politicians and people seem to deserve each other.

When USA invaded Iraq Afghanistan Vietnam etc but they allowed them to play under that flag.

Nothig related to being Russian... they didn't support you because you are disrespectful to referees, you lose your temper and destroy rackets or kick cameras... You are a great player and you will be on the top 2-3 best for the next 5-8 years, but you won't be a real champ if you don't realize and take care of these issues.

Yes you are right...you should thank to Putin..I am sorry but it is true.

Understand what you're mindset is But Fuck the people who you think disrespect you, Just remember They are Watching!! And have NO !! idea how hard it is to be even Half as good as you!!

Lack of support is because he act like a jerk on court

We love you Medvedev!!! I'm a fan :)

No, its because he is disrespectful.

no one word from nadal to the N.1 in his speech, but novak it's serbian, brother of russians...

Every year that Rafa played Roland Garros he had the public against him but I never listened Nadal to talk about that, it's the difference between a legend and good players like Medvedev

Don’t let them get to you I’m a full supporter to you nationality means nothing, I couldn’t care less if you were English, or Russian, I wouldn’t support you any less

This aged terribly

Take comfort, that Nadal embarrassed himself terribly, and said the F word, in his excitement, after holding that trophy! You'd never hear Federer do that, if he broke history, he'd never disrespect tennis like this, just because he nearly lost, you Sir, have excellent control over your speech, and are a strong Orthodox Christian, you will be rewarded once you maintain sexual purity, please work hard on this aspect, Rafa's had his last run at AO, and he surely will be punished, for his despicable behaviour.

Support for my Russian bro, from Serbia. Don't lose spirit Danil, over some western losers. Big bro Djokovic has got your back. He is coming for Fakedal to take him out once and for all and make the Fedal losers cry again 😢🤣 .

Fully agree with him. Shame on the Aussies and their corrupt govt.

of all the miserable tournaments, with this poor audience the most miserable is this "victory" of this unfortunate Nadal. you managed to drive out Novak, the best player in the world, to celebrate forcibly, I don't know what? you disgusted me with your miserable tournament. by the way, the last one he won. maybe something from 250 ...

This has nothing to do because you're "Russian". Dude, you're huge athlete! Never ever mind those people who belittle you,it's all about in the mind. And I'm one of those who supports you! Keep going Daniil! You'll have those Grand slams sooon in your hands! 👏👏

It's funny how tennis crowds hate on russians (and other eastern Europeans) yet Russians are dominating tennis. Shapovalov, tsitsipas, zverev, Medvedev, Djokovic...

M too sensitive overacting in every situation Novak handle it very well never let get to him

Not only in tennis, Russian guys always have the bad guy label

With all due respect to Medvedev, he is just playing victim now cause he lost.. I mean during the OA, he brought up Djokovic multiple times knowing it would pissed off the majority of Aussies, just to troll... Also he didn't missed any opportunity to give it back to the crowd, while he was winning game or ahead in finals.... he feeds on these and that's his character and that's completely fine.. But he need to understand Rafa is a legend and since he was out for long and everything and he came back to fight for record breaking grand slam, of course most people would root for rafa for the fairly tale...it wasn't personal.... When RF came to rise in 2001 I have seen people were supporting Sampras over him but he won over crowd later...In 2005 when rafa came to rise, crowd was supporting RF against him every single game, he didn't sulk , he fought and won over the fans ,.......Crowd is against Djokovic for most of his title games against RF and Nadal, he don't sulk,.. he trolls and get better and wins... Also you cant just be trolling crowd while you winning, bringing up Djokovic multiple times to troll and play victim when you loose to get sympathy points, that's just CARTMAN like shit thing to do.. I hope he will get motivated on hostile crowd (like Djokovic would have done) and be a winner, rather than playing victim card after loosing... Players and people in general are getting too fragile and fell like they are entitled to everything cause they work for 10 years or so , but you gotta earn the respect and love from the crowd over time or just troll them and get motivated from them, like what every GOATs did before you... Nways good luck Medvedev...

Don't let these proles get to you. None of them can be real tennis fans. This is not tennis anymore. W person who knows how it feels to throw the ball up on the second serve and similar situations would have empathy and shut the f. up. These are the same fans who celebrate the manors and behavior of players like N. Kyrgios. They should play their own tournaments for entertainment purposes only, not for real sport. You did great 👍

🇷🇸🇷🇺

So this kid plays against a legend of the sport and he expects the crowd to root for him? The big 3 have earned the worlds respect and fans through over 15 years of being at the top. Meddy has max 5 years in top 10 and one GS. Good for him and best of luck in the future, but you're not yet to be compared to the big 3, you are very far. And on top of that, none of the big 3 have ever had any tantrums like Meddy. Maybe once in awhile, but not on regular basis like meddy..that counts more that being Russian.

only the ones with inferiority complex seek for acceptance in public. it's not a popularity contest, go out there and compete. your opponent has been on tour for 21 years, have you ever seen him giving middle finger to crowd? respect is a two way street.

Damn Novak takes that sh*t on the chin like a gangsta never out there crying like a little girl.

Lmao the guy is friend with Poutine, he talk to people without respect. What does he expect exactly ?

Why not play for Ukraine? Send a statement.

After the Russian invasion, there will be a lot of anger towards Russian tennis players. Better go back to Russia and play your tennis there.

Il problema è come ti poni, Danil. Risulti antipatico e basta.

Russian players are the best. They beat Ukraine in the sport and in the field. Go Russia go.
