During an interview in the mixed zone, the journalist, asking a Russian citizen a question, called all Russian athletes "cheaters".

“For the first time in my life I will not answer a journalist's question and demand that I no longer see this person here,” RIA Novosti quotes Medvedev as saying to representatives of the International Tennis Federation (ITF).

Earlier it was reported that Medvedev needed medical attention during the third round match at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
