Daniil Medvedev won the Masters 1000 in Rome, his 20th title on the circuit. The Russian had never imposed himself on ochre in his career.
"It's either training or my new shoes," he says of his success in Rome. The 27-year-old will be a title contender at Roland Garros in the absence of the master of the place Rafael Nadal, who will forfeit because of his long injury to the psoas. "I have a great link with the France": the place of world No. 1, the tournament of Metz.
