“300. That’s enough for the whole tournament. If I make it to the end,” Medvedev said in a video posted on the official US Open account on social media X. After winning his first-round match against Frenchman Hugo Gaston, Medvedev was asked why he chewed gum during the match. The Russian explained it was due to dryness in his mouth and mentioned that he picked up this habit from baseball players. In the second round, Medvedev will face American Sebastian Korda (ranked 731st, received a wild card).
