Is Medvedev feeling the pressure now that's why he lost? He was really doing good this year and it seems that media is hyping him to be the next big player to come out and challenge the dominance of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer. However, I had a feeling that he succumb to tennis limelight this early and maybe he was out of focus. Or perhaps pushing himself very hard to chase Roger Federer, just saying.
He has been in the limelight since his back to back titles this year. So I doubt that it has something to do with the media with his recent lost to Chardy here. Maybe he got burn out, which is natural for sports athletes specially in tennis.
Interesting next match, Tsitsipas vs De Minaur. Djokovic and Nadal thru to the next round, Schwartzman defeated by Edmund.
I also think more in that direction, he is just burn out, if Medvedev's defeat by feeling a pressure from media, then considering that Chardy victory just by luck.
My prediction Tsitsipas and Novak will win the match, wait for big match tomorrow Nadal vs Wawrinka. Nadal is one of the great Tennis player, He rarely lose in the initial round of tournament, so this time He will do too.
