Since the 2023 Rome Masters 1000, Daniil Medvedev has been without titles, but he does not waver in his attempt to keep seeking glory. This year hasn't started on the best note for him, as the Russian has only seen two victories since the Australian Open. He was defeated in the second round by Learner Tien and later by Mattia Bellucci in Rotterdam. Now he lands in the ATP Marseille to try to turn his situation around, a place close to his home in Monaco where he lifted the title in 2021. How important is it to win this 250-category event? This is what he said in a press conference, as reported by L'Équipe.

- Feelings before his debut

"I'm feeling quite good, which may come as a surprise when you don't feel confident. I believe I'm not far from playing better and obtaining better results. The question is, 'will it be here in Marseille, in Doha next week, in Dubai, or in Indian Wells...? Every week is a new opportunity. I had a good pre-season, that's not going to change. I also trained well before Rotterdam, so it's just a matter of winning more matches."

- What did Gilles Simon contribute, with whom he no longer works since the Australian Open?

"Many things. His ideas and all that he brought were great. It's just that, in the end, I think we were too different in some aspects. We couldn't fully connect, which is important between a player and a coach. That's the only reason we decided to part ways, but I believe he can be a great help to the next player or players he works with in the future."

- It's important to win any tournament, regardless of the category

"At this moment, I believe it's very important for me, for my confidence, to prove to myself that I'm still capable, even though I know I am. But, what's better when you look at last year? Winning a 250 or reaching the final of Australia, the semifinal of Dubai when you're not in great physical condition, the final of Indian Wells, or the semifinal of Miami? I would say the finals. But right now, the most important thing for me is to win many matches and start feeling better about my game because in the matches I lost, I feel I wasn't far off. I'm not playing as well, and even playing like this, I am close to winning, which is a good sign. Because when I return to my true level, maybe I'll win more matches more easily, and the titles will come back."
