What Did Daniil Medvedev Say?

Daniil Medvedev said that the possible reason for the escalation of the conflict was that Diego Schwartzman refused to apologize.

“Yeah, I thought, and maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know. I thought there was one point where I hit let, and then he, where he hit the let, sorry, and he passed me and he didn’t say sorry. It was a very tight moment, I lost the game after, but in my mind, I was, like, Okay, I think you should have said sorry. So I will get this back at you, and that’s what I did,just one time after during the match.”
