Did you see that display of sportsmanship?
The kid conceded the point because the umpire got it wrong. An 18 year old who is not a cheat. I'm in love.

He’ll have to work on his English - too cute.
He’s very mature for 18. Hope he can handle the pressure.

Medvedev and Djokovic. He hasn't played the Djoka and Medvedev beat him in straight sets at Wimbledon last year. He is yet to beat Rafa.
He's already beating top ten players so I think his future is bright.
