Gomez stressed that a lot is needed to deal with players like Medvedev.
The number one of the Ecuadorian team Emilio Gómez, acknowledged having felt frustrated in the clash against the world number two, the Russian Daniil Medvedev, to whom he could only play two games, although he was left with all the positive experiences experienced in the Finals of the Davis cup.
“On Friday I experienced something that I had never experienced in a stadium. Today what happened to me with Carreño in Indian Wells happened to me. What I felt today I never felt. I really felt miserable for a few minutes into the game, in the first set. What happened on Friday, I could hardly sleep. Two matches like that is pretty tough. The truth is that Friday’s game was incredible. Medvedev told me on the network that I accused the effort on Friday and that it could have been better ”, acknowledged Gómez.
“I played world number two after a tough battle on Friday. We are not used to this. It is a lesson for our team. We have played against two powers. We have a very good doubles. I don’t know what they are going to do with the Davis Cup because so many things are said and there are so many formats that I don’t know. Reaching these instances is great for Ecuador, “said Ecuador’s number one.
Emilio Gómez stressed that many things are needed to face players like Medvedev.
“To beat these types of players you need a plan A, a plan B and a plan C. I have to improve things. I felt that going to the limit was not enough. Are a lot of things. The effort to try to do better cannot be denied, but to beat him you have to play at a really, very high level, ”said Gómez, who is already thinking about next year to try to fit into the top 100 in the world.
“It has been the year that I have traveled the most and that I have played the most weeks. I have to play fewer weeks and prepare them better. I did very long tours that are no longer done ”, assumed the Ecuadorian.
“If we did not have that union that we have, we would not have arrived here but two rounds later. That is our strength, the union. We found a group that nobody wanted. I would have loved a group like Canada where the two best players leave. But I would not have lived this week and with that I also stay ”, concluded Emilio Gómez. (D)
