You don’t judge someone by how they win but how they lose, this was so classy.
Actually it"s both.
@@mickeystanic4750 ye true but you see someone’s true character when they lose it’s a lot easier to be a good winner than a good loser, I hate losing and I am a bad loser so I know and respect this.
@@hurleycapetown8420 I have to agree with you on that. Greetings from Brazil
@@Brandespada i am also in Brazil currently : )
@@hurleycapetown8420 👍👍
Danil just won himself a bunch of new fans. Including me.
And me too. I love his style of playing, classical with accuracy
Great guy
Including me
Yes i agree Daniil you got me as a fan ❤️wondefull young man
Agree.
I thought the video title would be clickbait but this was actually one of the classiest speeches ever.
👍
So you didn't watch it live? You had to come to youtube to watch the post match speeches? Rather than parroting the video title can you please explain what was so "classy" about the speech?
@@powerplay.556 From the US brotha this was on at 3am, no i didn’t watch it live hahaha
The 2 greatest players, 2 good mates with great morals, values, beliefs and principles ☦️🇷🇸🇷🇺♥️🙏
I never saw Medvedev until the match. One of my friend said about these match and I said I want novak want to win. At the end of match, I started to watch and the first time I saw Medvedev speech and that momentum I become huge fan of Medvedev and luckily he won slam.
When a compliment comes from a guy like Daniil we understand how Novak is great.
What do you mean ‘from a guy like Daniil’??
Sure
@@seboi9328 Honest,never acting. :)
Only Rafa will play doubles with Tomic haha
Danil is a classy person he always shows great respect after a final this is nothing unusual.
This was not an accidental comment, it was very deliberate. He obviously wanted to say - let me tell you something about the guy that you always criticize, whether you have ground for that or not. Very classy moment from the outspoken guy who doesn't have reservation when he has to say something about injustice. Danil just made his way to my heart, this can be done only by very sensitive and honest person.
I agree
Exactly what I thought.. Love Medvedev for that
It is not easy for somebody to make its way to my heart, either. The story Medvedev just told not only consolidated Novak's place in my heart but also opened it to Medvedev too. Greetings from Brazil.
This is just serbo russian love !!
@@michaelahass2695 So you're saying Medvedev made up the story and they are both actually horrible people? Are you the lady that held her finger up in Wimbledon?
He speaks so intelligently. This is the mind of a true champion at heart
He is actually so amazingly articulate that he leaves words out of sentences that serve no purpose. The result is technically broken english but functionally optimized english. Very impressed with his mind.
It's not that he leaves out words, most of the time he uses russian sentence structure while speaking English
@@archief1 oh that makes more sense. Because his sentences are very well organized. I guess this means I just like russian grammar more than english grammar haha
@@bonzwah1 that's what you get in a language where you can put every word in whatever place in the sentence you want including verbs which you can control the pace of the conversation with while still being organized. You gotta love Russian tbh
Yes the Russians seem to have little or no use for articles.
Respect to Novak from Russia!
Спасибо, сербский брат. Он брат Новака! Отныне и навсегда! Он был жив для нас много лета!
From Daniil with love to Novak!!
@gae Of course. Serbs and Russians love each other very much. We have a common history. We always respected each other very much and helped each other when it was difficult. In the Orthodox faith, we address each other as brother and sister because we love each other that way. It is the same with the Greeks. We are like the Holy Trinity...
Respect to medvedev from the world
Also he speaks a really clean english, its usually easy to identify a russian speaking english but medvedev speaks like a fluent speaker, thats cool.
Danil and Novak, pure class. 💪
Oh! Big time! !!
You forgot to ad kyrgios to that list! ... .... ..... .... ..... .... 😂😅😄😂😅😝😁
The 2 greatest players, 2 good mates with great morals, values, beliefs and principles ☦️🇷🇸🇷🇺♥️🙏
@@grozdaboskovic1707 Yup.👍
Medvedev is like Novak's younger brother. He is smart, well spoken, funny and very talented. He will be the future champion, as Novak's is already a legend.💪💪💪💪💪💪
I call him Mini Djokovic/Djokovic jr cause I see many similarities.
@@drtash21 It's nice to see good people at the top of tennis. He does have a Novak look about him, that translates to his game and personality...
Daniil is already 25 and top 3, djoko was top 1 much earlier than 25
@@eliokhoury4581 thats right, but he didnt have the top 3 of all time against him, huge Nole fan here tho
Ur name😂
Medvedev didn’t win the tournament but he won a lot of fans this tournament. He’s a boss!
That's true. Danil is great¡ the way he drives his emotions make better And better. Non solo in panem vivit homini ¡
He will again win many fans after AO 2022🥱
I’ve noticed he speaks from his heart…..
You know what... As a Djokovic fan, the speech of Medvedev feels so sincere, great Medvedev!
with the us open 2021 life came a full circle for both in a good way, novak healed himself and danii won his first open.
Amidst biased media narratives and deliberate agendas, I'll forever remember Medvedev's kind words about Nole.
It gave me chills because I haven't listened to something this heartfelt and real for what feels like ages
Biased western media. Not all.
Medvedev is just as captivating off-court as he is on-court. He is one of the best speakers in tennis right now and always has something to say, he is and will continue to be a great ambassador for the game
100% agree
Agree! Him & Novak speaks with sense & from their hearts..unlike those two who stutter & cant get their point straight! Those guys need to study english more😄
@@isaganiprado4874 and you must be perfect then. LOL.
I disagree, his oncourt behaviour is quite poor but off-court he is the most wellspoken classiest player of the whole tour
You can see why John McEnroe loves him so much.
I'm a huge Novak fan, but I really do admire Daniil's tennis, and the speech he gave today only lifted him in my estimations. He took defeat like a MAN, and showed his maturity and admiration when praising Nole. It's brilliant to see such fantastic, mutual respect between these two athletes. Well done to both of you guys.
"Hopefully we're gonna have a grandslam soon" - Medvedev AUS open 2021. Well you got it now. Congrats man.
I know the guy who had been sparing partner for 2 years on the tours for the one of top 10 players. He knew every player and had a chance to practice with top players.too. What Medviedev said about Novak he told me the same a year ago . Djokovic is the most friendly and funny player on the tour..
that was indeed a class speech
One of the best speech all time
That little story has made me see Novak in a new light. Respect!
Smart, lovely speech and he's legend (novak)
This shows that Novak is a great person not the bad guy the media and other fans is portraying.
Ok, the guy just won a new place in some hearts, including mine. Classy speech, I was not expecting this.
Medvedev will be one of my favorites for the next 10 years.
Thank you Mr. Medvedev for put some respect on Djokovic's name. Daniil will be giving us speeches for many years to come and I'm glad he act so classy
He might be too aggressive sometimes, he might have vocal battles with other players sometimes, but this guy has a pure heart. ⭐⭐❤️
That is what higher level competition is all about! Remember this is there job and how they make a living! Nothing wrong with that! Would be a very boring sport if no passion existed.
Serbo-Russian love and respect! Danil is good person and he smart + i like him
He seems classy
Обе молоцы...дай бог им здаровья

@@ErnestoLopez-kr8zl check the yt chanel named BalkanTripTV there is a story about Carlos. A guy from Mexico who fall in love with Serbia in evry aspect and stayed to live here for more then a 5 years now.
@@ErnestoLopez-kr8zl i just checked and there is no translation, because Carlos speaks a fluent Serbian. Its a shame there is no titls... All the best anyway
Djokovic is such a great person - forget about tennis
He gets too much hate for no reason, he‘s a good person at heart
@@neelparmar6690 the reason is called nadal and federer fans
@@neelparmar6690 could you please just stop saying that. If you love him, then say that you love him and nothing else
@@v.m.2526 No, it is a fact evertthing he s publicly done for the last 15 years was good. He has a good heart, he is honest
@@neelparmar6690 there's good reason. His quarantine behavior/partying during the pandemic is bad. plus he is dumb, the dude thinks you can change the chemical structure of water with your feelings
As a novak fan so much respect for you Daniil Medvedev for you wish one day you win this title..👈🏻☺️😍
Medvedev is a classy guy
Medvedev is so classy ! I truly respect him ...
His English is better than I thought it would be. I like his attitude after this tough loss. He wasn't down in the dumps. More appreciative and optimistic. He's earned a fan here . . .
I think you'll find that his English is better than perfect if you are assessing his ability to communicate and not his ability to adhere to proper grammar. He leaves out a lot of words, but all the words he drops serve no purpose in actually communicating meaning because his thoughts are very well organized. The result is more eloquent than most native speakers in my opinion.
It really was. I dont remember such an honest and sportsmans like speech. Thats a champion!
This guy really seems so genuine which is a rare quality. What has he done that so many people dislike him?!
It's the way he plays. Don't get me wrong, he's a great player with a great game, but anyone's who has played much tennis instinctively dreads the type of tennis he plays. He's a super pusher who gets everything back and has no weaknesses. You see Medvedev's game and you think, "frustration." I don't think anyone enjoys playing Medvedev. They know that, at best, they're in for a long grind.
Truly one of the best speeches I’ve ever heard. Class act.
This video has aged well so far!
Novak is not only world number one, but pure class on and off the court.......what Medvedev said about Novak does not surprise me.......... from Novak's charitable work off the court to the company he keeps, not withstanding his talents on the court.... a class act.. congrats Novak! HEY KYRGIOS, MAYBE YOU CAN LEARN A THING OR TWO FROM MEDVEDEV...
Just came here to say Kyrgios is actually an extremely charitable player and is a great sport. He used to be hot-tempered and rude but has opened up and his post-match interviews are really sincere. I disagree with Novak being class on the court. He often has medical issues and at most times it seems incredibly fake - at the beginning of this match he was doubling over at breaks and complaining about a cramp but seems to be fine for the rest of the match when he starts winning - that’s one of a few reasons why he isn’t necessarily well liked.
@@moozycarrots You are lost
Kyrgios if you are watching, open ur bloody eyes and take note on how to be a true Champion!
That guy just does not belong to these type of conversations. Envious losers like him should just be ignored.
For that Kyrgios would have to be a Champion first.
Of course he was watching, not like he had anything else to do 😅
Never judge people by theiir words, temper, or looks but by their actions towards other human beings and nature..
Radio Kirgios left without signal? He does not answer?
My respect for this man 📈📈
That's a long way from 600 and practicing with novak and 4th and playing against him 🔥
now he will be no 3 in the world
Even beat him sometimes as well. Cheers for Medvedev!
@@kiashorsubas6720 isn't that amazing!
@@vinodhinikumar8362 yes indeed.. looking forward for medvedev to win grand slam soon
Now he is no 2 ,I just came across at Australia open 2021
A serious talent and seems like a great guy....looking forward to seeing more.....ALSO DJOKOVICH IS THE GOAT!!!!!!
GWOAT - greatest wall of all time
Djokovic deserves more praise than what he usually gets. I don't understand why most people don't consider him on the same level with Rafa & Roger. I feel that he will surpass them both soon.
@@sumymathew3804 maybe coz he is the one who dethroned rafa and roger ...when they were considered god a guy from Serbia came and won 18 slam in there era and that serious and there fans can disgust it thats why he is GOAT coz he broke the myth and soon he will b ahead of both in slams also well he is already leading H2H and have upper hand and by look at rafa in the quarters he looks his age when a good play is against me but for novak its his game day in day out.
Genuinely happy for Novak after the unnecessary backlash he's received last year. Great performance! Also, classy speech from Med afterwards, really glad he came out with the story, showing Nole's true character to the biased media. 🇷🇸🇷🇺
last year backlash, i mean there is always propaganda around him but did something different happend last time
@@shoaibmemon8788 a lot of happened. He got disqualified from us open because he hit the judge. Than he organised tournament in his country Serbia during corona, and one player had corona, so everyone attacked him, even though it wasn't hos fault. Our government said it is OK. And ofc he found PTPA.. Poor guy, he got a lot of hate for no reason lol
@@jednostavno_alex oh ok, yes i am aware of these things i thought he mentioned about last years AO final so i was thinking about that Djokovic vs Thiem match, yes Djokovic's been through hell but please no one reminds me of the US open 2019 as it could have become his 19 grand slam rather than 18 🤦♂️
@@shoaibmemon8788 i know, us open sucked :D
@@jednostavno_alex He won Wimbledon 2018 and 2019 so he was favourite in that too 😒, btw saw your youtube page you are really pretty 😇❤
At least i found someone who i think could take over after the big threes are done!!!!..Not the result Medvedev wanted, but I'm sure he's gonna get there some days!!!
Thiem is better
@@demonking4883 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@DovlaBolan well he is slightly. gave djokovic a tougher fight last year ao, has a slam which beat medvedev to get to in straights. All that is enough to suggest he has the leg up
@@talentroller4413 but thiem is 2 years older then medvedev 🤔🤔🤔
@@demonking4883 I like Thiem but he won't dominate until he changes his game. He stays back too much, and that style of play will be difficult to maintain as he gets older.
I come here all the time, I came here again after Daniil won the US Open title. Medvedev is a class, just watch his interview in the post presentation. The mutual respect between Daniil and Novak is phenomenal. ❤️
Serbia is proud to have Djoko. He has already reached such height that none will have any problems to take note of Serbia.
Danil, You are the Champion!
Saw it live.. Was indeed great speech impromptu
Indeed it was
Nole is my favourite tennis player and after that it's Meddy. He is such a nice guy on and off the court, he surely will be a GrandSlam Champion one day
Great sportsmanship and honesty. Time will give Danil a chance again.
Danil is such a nice guy from the core of his heart. His speeches are the best after any final.
He is a class act. A real gentlemen. His time will come one day.
Medvedev is fantastic guy, so honest and nice. And great tennis player. all the best
I love the way Medvedev paid a tribute to Djokovic's kindness, great speech from the loser to the champion.
This called CLASS, that Australian guy nick K, should learn something from both of them
A fool will never learn ,that is why some have IQ 50 and others IQ 150 ........
First of all, he have to learn from them, how to play tennis..
You need to play finals to get to the microphone..for guys like Nick there is Twitter ,Facebook....
Grown ass men complaining about him 24/7, get a damn life you snowflakes, man up and stop getting offended by every little thing, it’s embarrassing
@@63gak 👍😂🤣
This truly was a classy and eloquent speech! Medvedev is not only a terrific tennis player but incredibly perceptive and smart. I was not surprised when I learnt that he has a math degree and can speak fluent french.
He also is a Master in chess.
Ć
This man, Medvedev, is an outstanding well spoken person. A wonderful role model. 💯 I enjoy listening and feeling his intentions in each of his speeches. He took the high road here. ⭐️ He came in second in playing but rose strong to first in the delivery and intentions of his speech. Now that is what I call a classy individual! Wow! 💛 🇨🇦 I hope he reads this comment or any comment with a similar accolades. I would hope it would encourage him to keep up his respectful memorable personality.
Yeah he speaks well.. especially considering the fact that English is not even his first language.. hopefully he wins some Grand Slams in the next few years..
except when he challenge his opponents to s fist fight on the court xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD to be fair the other guy deserved it
@@woswasdenni1914 We all make mistakes in the heat of the moment. We have not seen this behaviour since, correct? Danill admits he makes mistakes, he is not a robot but human. You learn from mistakes and make sure you do not repeat them. I bet Danill is most likely regretful of this past behaviour. Gosh! Don't we all have actions in our past where we wish we would have done things differently? Thank you for your opinion. Stay safe please during this covid pandemic. 😷🇨🇦
@@MegsCarpentry-lovedogs Well said! People are to quick to remember one bad thing and easily forget 100 good ones!
@@spaceexplorer6636 Thanks for recognizing the demons of humanity in quick judgement. It takes work to keep these sorts of demons in check and snug tightly so they don't come out. (wink, wink :)
What a charismatic presentation from Medvedev, and that even after a heartbreaking loss.
Beautiful gentlemanly gesture by Medvedev. He has class and style. He is still young. He can still reach that greatness!
Someone should inform Nick Kyrgios that Novak Djokovic does not try to be a nice guy. He simply IS a nice guy. Maybe the question should be turned around on Nick, and we should ask him whether he consciously tries to be an asshole - or, whether he just is one.
djokovic isnt a nice guy but also not a evil guy. he made friends, he made enemys. but overall he is only a good sportsman if he is certain to win. but hey, this is a high stakes game with millions on the line and when push comes to shove almost nobody on the circut is a nice guy. not even federer who became a good sportsman after he won everything 5 times over and is now a billionaere. if you wanna know if someone is truely nice or good sportsman look at them in their hardest times. like novak deciding to ending a french open semi final on his own because he didnt like the wind and simply walking off court, forcing his opponent to play 2 matches on the final day
@@woswasdenni1914 Well, Djokovic is a nice guy and that comment from Medvedev just proved it. I don't think you've ever heard anything like that from a beaten opponent in the finals. And no, you don't see the real personality when it is hardest, but when that person is on top. Only then, when all the other needs are fulfilled and you have nothing to worry about (and more important, no restrains), shows what kind of character you are truly...
@@woswasdenni1914 Djokovic is always a honest person to his opponent no matter if he lose or not. He has lost tons of crucial matches and still doing a really friendly handshake. Its even more friendly than Federer or Nadal when he wins.
I have met Nick Kyrgios here in Melbourne and trust me, is the worst sport men i have ever met in my life. He thinks he is a star . He is an asshole !!
@@woswasdenni1914 , anyways... we all agree that Kyrgios is an asshole lol
Daniil will be one of the great ambassadors of tennis. Good to see this classy speech.
Heard both there speeches pure gold. Well done to them both.
What a pure soul..the whole humanity should be enlightened by his speech..wish u a good luck in coming days..love from Mt Everest
Wow! That speech was class act!
The elitist media can learn something from Medvedev
His speech was really great and it was surprising after watching him play. He was all unfocused and broken. But delivered the best speech. He spoke like a winner.
For all of the pushback he receives from many crowds...I think he won some people over with this speech. It was heartfelt and classy. Well done
You lift yourself when you speak so highly of others
Every sportsmen should learn off medvedev's speech here. Massive character and human being with deepest respect to his opponent even when defeated. The opposite players to medvedev in this sport are federer, tsitsipas, musetti. Medvedev I wish you an enjury free and brilliant career
absolutely right
Hats off to Daniil what a humble person to share good memories of Jocko despite his lose. Very respectable!
That is such a sweet moment. Wow.
So glad to see him doing the speech with a smile on his face after lossing, not many players can do that
It’s good that he has a lot of respect for Novak and is a good sport when talking for this speech.
He's won my heart that's for sure. A classy guy through and through no matter what people say about him
This is another reason to love tennis. They didn't bring politics or anything else NEGATIVE into the game. Two great role models!
Great to have you in the finals Medvedev.... Congratulations to Novak
Medvedev bought me here,when Novak finish his career I am all in for this dude
This is going to be a treasure for many days to come to remind that tennis has other side, real human!
This speech was simply priceless! I've been getting attracted to this guy just by the way he speaks. With this speech he has completely won me over as a fan.
If you are kind and down to earth, God will always be with you.. You deserve it Novak..👏👏👏👏
I loved when I watched this during the final. Both men equally were so gracious to the other. So nice to see in sports. You both 100% deserved to be the top players of the tournament.
Daniil Medvedev show how the competition and respect between rivals should look like! Many sports men and women can learn a lot from him! Great example and personality! People love humble and great sportsmen! Great job Daniil! World loves you! You won our hearts and this is more than anything else!
Hi speaks so intelligently...... This is the mind of a true at heart I like you Ms. Medvedev
Look forward to seeing him hoist the trophy one day, from a Djokovic fan!
Madvedev, from Serbia with love :)
As a Nole fan, I really hope to see Daniil winning a GS soon, maybe US Open this year would be his best chance.
I honestly think Nadal stole that one from him for playing dirty. He was too afraid to speak out or made cuz everyone was in it for Nadal.
@@nicknguyen3019 why was Nadal playing dirty? Just assume he won the match
@@sklpgllk7008 go watch the year before IS open championship match. He delayed game multiple times even the crowd which was on his side started booing then he stopped. At that point Danil lost his momentum. Against an upcoming junior player that’s not cool. He denied trying to beat Federer’s record but thats a lie and that’s why he had to cheat to win that GS. Lost all respect.
US open 2021 DominicThiem❤
Please no. Djokovic v Medvedev US Open 2021 finals is tomorrow
What a wonderful sportsman Daniel is, real maturity in his words such a graceful gesture.
Such a big heart. Hope he will win some slams...
Classy speech from danii. Hope to see his winning grand slam speech soon...
With this speech he is a winner, regardless of the score.
Medo is the new world ace after Nole!
So endearing, Love Novak more and Medvedev tooo
Wow, much respect.
Medvedev: A real humble sports personality...
Medvedev is all business no none-sense player ! Never had him speak, but he is quite eloquent, well spoken and articulate in his delivery and more so a goal oriented player ! Love 💕 him too! He’s one to watch Novak is a machine !
Medvedev isn't always the most tactful, but he seems like a pretty cool dude. Good reminder that there's so much MORE to these amazing athletes beyond the tennis court.
Очен спасибо Даниил 😘 🇷🇸❤️🇷🇺
Great Daniil! Regards from Serbia.
Finally a genuine speech, not some regurgitated bs that literally everyone repeats
Recently I very impressed with him, such a nice guy and my favorite player now,wish him all the best for his future
Now more than ever this should make people understand who Novak is and how great he is.
