people are loving medvedev yay

 daniil medvedev is my fav tennis player (after sharapova retired).  I started liking him years ago, when i saw that he was so honest in interviews and uust says what he thinks.  He said nice things about Novak during the time when novak was being blasted by the general public for coming to the aus open but having not been vaccinated(
i was fine with ti).  and there were times the medi showed medvedev cracking it when he was playing against tsitsipas and he was angry his opponents dad was talking to him the whole time.  I remember whenever i would post support for medvedev, id often get some ppl commenting that thye hated him etc

anyways, hes still my fav and always has been. even if i m the only one that i know that supports him.  even angela messaged me last week and asked me an honest question and asked whjy i liked medvedev. and i told her  basically cos hes honest and doesn't give politically correct answers just to be liked or to avoid controversy.  and also because he never gives up.

she thanked me for giving my perpective on it.

i'm thankful that Suze knows i like medvedev and she told me he was playing on the day we decided to go tot he aus open.  and we got to see him practice yay! it was so great!  and i asked Suze's bf who his fav player was, and he said i guess medvedev. and i was really happy he said that.

anyways, medvedev has really been gaining so much popularity this tournament.. and he isn't even trying to be loved.  He said that hes trying to change somethings since the end of last year.  He said it used to be like theres 10,000 people in the audience and there might be 1 person who claps a double fault and it would annoy him.  and he said by the end of the season he was so tired mentally.  But hes been doing a lot of thinking and now his focus more on himself rather than on external factors.  Like he knows what he wants, where he's going, what he needs to do.  

Even when people ask about how he feels about the finals match where he was up 2 sets against nadal but somehow nadal came back to win it.  He said that he is 100% left that in the past now.  He onlyu focusses on the present and where he's goiing.

Hes got this happy content smile on his face that really nice to see.  HE's been having some great on court interviews with jim courier that have been so great! and even mcenroe talked ot him today and it was so good too.  The crod loves him.

OH! i just wanna day the day we saw medvedev, suze suggested we upgrade out ground pass tickets to margaret court tix so we could see meddy. and when he entered the arena, i whistled for him and during the match when he won sets and at the end!  i wanted him to know he had some supporters in australia!!

and now when i see interviews, he getsw big applause and ppl love him! its great!  basically, this post is about... how ii am 100$ sure that his change in attitude, has led to his success this year and also people loving him.

like now when hes down 2 sets and its 2am in the mrning, hes thining i dont think i could get a 6 hour flight back home, ill stay another day in australia. and during his 5 set win today in the quarters, he came to the net a bit for crucial points. and he said its cos he was tired and he thought, i either make iit or i go home tomorrow, its not a big deal ahah!!

like...  its so cool for me to see him so chill now.  like a few years ago he did crack it... but now i feel like he does his best and its not life or death to him anymore.  i makes me really happy...  and lieterally he is not trying to make people love him.. but people just like him now! yay.
