The 2021 US Open champion and the ninth-ranked tennis player in the world, Russian athlete **[Daniil Medvedev](https://www.example.com)**, has requested the organizers of the tournament in Halle, Germany, to change the location of the benches for next year.

“I want to express my gratitude to everyone who made this possible. I only have one thing to say, and I’m sure Sasha (Bublik) would agree with me. Please move the bench to the other side next year. Spending two hours in the sun when it’s 30 degrees outside… But it’s okay, it was an amazing tournament. Next time, I’ll try to win the title,” Medvedev stated, as reported by We love tennis.

As a reminder, in the final match of the tournament in Halle, Daniil Medvedev lost to Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik, with a score of 3:6, 6:7.
