During his latest press conference in Dubai, Medvedev confessed that he has always had a particular admiration for Stan Wawrinka: "I can't deny that I am inspired by him. The Swiss has lived most of his career in the shadow of the Fab Four, but he never gave up and continued to work hard until he won three Grand Slam titles.
