On February 3, local time, the 2025 ATP 500 Rotterdam station ended the first day of competition. Second seed Dmitry Medvedev defeated Switzerland's Wawrinka 6-7(8), 6-4, 6-1 to advance to the second round.
Reflecting on the match, Medvedev said: "When you have faith, you win some of the markets you deserve. When you don't have confidence, I lose some of the markets you should win. I was like, 'I'm playing pretty well right now,' so if I keep working hard and play better, it might work out, and I'm happy to have done that." Hopefully I can play better and better in the next games. ”。
Speaking about his opponent Wawrinka, the Russian said: "He played well, but this is Stan, he always plays well. Of course, he wasn't at his peak when he won a Grand Slam. I've never played against him when he's at that level, which is a shame because I like to see it as a challenge. Stan is also an amazing person. In my opinion, he is one of the most humble and friendly people on the tour. ”
