“I was so shocked because I really, especially on practice, I honestly don’t really care if I win in practice set or lose. I always try to win, but whatever. To be honest, out of everyone on the tour I don’t think anyone on practice wants to cheat. So he was, like, apparently not happy with me.”
The former world No. 1 couldn’t clear the air at the time because he didn’t have a relationship with Fritz, and he was interested to hear his rival’s side of the story. “At the time we didn’t really speak to each other. So we were not like friends. We’re still not friends, but I think we’re in a good relationship,” he added.
“So, yeah, that was the story. I was a cheater, I guess. You can ask him about this if he remembers anything. It was Wimbledon practice. But if not, I think no, nobody really wants to cheat.”
But there’s no bad blood between the two, even if they don’t have a friendship. “It’s not a big deal, whatever. Pretty funny. After practice I was, like, Really? I didn’t try to cheat or anything, but yeah,” Medvedev said.
