Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev, ranked third in the world, confirmed his efforts to enhance his playing style on clay courts, focusing more on hitting topspin shots as he prepares to participate in the Italian Open this week. Medvedev noted that "hitting more topspin shots and improving my sliding ability while running are among the main issues I always face." He added, "After losing in Madrid, I trained there for two days, and I focused a lot on improving my movement on the court, and I felt progress in that regard."
