A little bit of fun is always good. And above all between two men who otherwise get along quite well. Like Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev. Which not only concerns the fact that Rublev is called “Jannik” by some colleagues (including Medvedev) on the tour because of a certain resemblance to his sports comrade Sinner.
Now this week the two best Russian players were asked to draw each other. Hard to say who tried less. From the result, however, it can be said that Medvedev's exhibit came much closer to the specification than Rublev's.
Tsitsipas and Hurkacz with very free design
Medvedev and Rublev weren't the only part-time portrait artists, though: Matteo Berrettini and Nick Kyrgios have each dabbled with each other. The works by Stefanos Tsitsipas and Hubert Hurkacz simply could not be assigned to any of those present. Dominic Stricker, the youngest participant in the field of twelve, was at least roughly recorded by Taylor Fritz, and Stan Wawrinka's original Tsitsipas can also be interpreted as such with a little imagination.
Of course, this exercise can only have been the beginning. The next artistic development stage should urgently be tackled with modeling clay.
