Though the scales ultimately tipped in his favor, during the on-court interview, the third-ranked tennis player explained the clear reason behind how his momentum got destroyed in the final service game.

The Grand Slam finalist, who will now face off against Novak Djokovic, said, “The crowd was unbelievable. I mean it. I felt love to both sides. 1,000 Spanish guys at 5-3 started screaming between 1st & 2nd serves. That?s not so nice. But I guess they were desperate. They can go to sleep now.”?Medvedev clearly mentioned that a huge group of Spanish guys, with their unwanted screaming, distracted him while supporting their homeboy.
