\n Daniil Medvedev revealed one reason behind his incredible form this year after winning the Italian Open: new racket strings.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Russian world No. 2 has been using a different version of Technifbre strings and said the change to his game has been \u201cunbelievable\u201d since making the switch ahead of the Australian Open.<\/a>\n <\/p>\n

\n He has now won five titles this year \u2013 the most in his career \u2013 and Sunday\u2019s 7-5 7-5 victory against Denmark\u2019s Holger Rune<\/a> in the Italian Open final marked the first trophy he has captured on clay.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI think the strings help me \u2026 because they are just softer so the ball goes easier,\u201d Medvedev told reporters after defeating Rune.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cStraightaway in Australia actually where I lost, with my coach we were like, \u2018Wow, I have the easy depth on the ball, which is amazing,\u2019\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIn Australia, it didn\u2019t work. I was 100% doubting myself. Should I go back to the old ones, I was playing good with them? I said no, let\u2019s try more. Now it\u2019s unbelievable.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n After a one-hour, 40-minute delay due to rain in Rome, Medvedev battled through a tight first set against Rune, saving two break points at 2-2 before securing the crucial break at 6-5 when he raced to the net and pounced on a drop shot.\n <\/p>\n

\n The 20-year-old Rune responded with two breaks in the second set to take a 5-3 lead, but from there Medvedev asserted his baseline dominance and won the next four games to wrap up the win.\n <\/p>\n

\n Having won most of his titles \u2013 including his US Open triumph in 2021 \u2013 on hard courts, victory on clay at the Italian Open is a breakthrough moment for the 27-year-old Medvedev.\n <\/p>\n

\n Following Rafael Nadal\u2019s<\/a> withdrawal from the French Open last week, the second grand slam of the calendar year is difficult to predict with World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and 22-time grand slam champion Novak Djokovic<\/a> leading the men\u2019s singles draw.\n <\/p>\n

\n But Medvedev, who has never progressed beyond the quarterfinals at Roland Garros, will feel confident. He had to defeat the likes of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev<\/a> during his Italian Open campaign and has climbed five places in the men\u2019s rankings this year.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThis one is special because I didn\u2019t think it was going to be able to happen, (that I was) going to be able to make it,\u201d he said of his latest title.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cI still kind of don\u2019t believe \u2013 not that I won it, but that I played so well this week. I don\u2019t believe it. The way I played, I\u2019m really happy. Happy to have this trophy back home in some time.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The French Open takes place from May 28 to June 11 and Medvedev, whose ground strokes look more potent than ever before, has emerged as a strong contender.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
