World number one Daniil Medvedev won his first ATP title of 2022 with a straight sets win over British number one Cameron Norrie at the Los Cabos Open in Mexico.

In the post-match presentation ceremony, Medevedev jokingly stated, “I guess I just won the World Cup, no?”, referring to the design of the trophy. Speaking after the match, the Russian said, “Every match was very good, but the final is always special. In the final, you play the best player of this week, so it’s always a high-level match and I’m really happy that I managed to show some good level, some good shots in such an important match.”
He appreciated Norrie for his effort and further added, “Cam is an amazing player, so it was really intense. When you play against him, you know that you have to fight for every point.”
Fans certainly loved Daniil Medvedev’s witty statement. Let us take a look at some of the interesting reactions.
