Quote of the Day: Why Daniil Medvedev felt "like a fish on the sofa" - Tennis Magazine

Even in defeat, one can generally count on Daniil Medvedev to bring the quote game.

Thursday was no different. The top men's seed at the Miami Open had a chance to regain the No. 1 ranking, but went down to reigning champion Hubert Hurkacz, 7-6 (7), 6-3.

Medvedev admitted to struggling with the conditions during the match, citing dizziness and an inability to catch his breath. The wear and tear then carried over to the locker room afterwards when cramps set in.

Speaking about that experience, Medvedev discussed the steps he took to address the pain, which included pushing electrolytes, taking medication recommended by a doctor and avoiding sitting further by going for a shower. The line of the day followed at the end of his explanation.

“It was good advice to stand up, because I was like sitting down, really tired, and then suddenly every muscle just went cramp, cramp, cramp, cramp,” he said.

“I was like a fish on the sofa.”

Medvedev has already established his fish-reference game, having channeled FIFA's "dead fish" celebration when he toppled Novak Djokovic in last year's US Open final for his first major title.
