Daniil Medvedev enjoyed playing the roll of the heel during some moments of the US Open this year.
But following his epic five-set loss to Rafael Nadal in Sunday’s men’s final, he was all class and incredibly humble.
Medvedev, who lost the first two sets and joked about how in the third set he was thinking about his consolation speech, praised Nadal for his win and his legendary career.
It was a true moment of sportsmanship after playing nearly five hours of incredible tennis.
Even if you aren’t a tennis fan, press play on this video and enjoy a moment that shows us what sports are all about:
Well done.
