The Russian has not enjoyed too much success on grass either. He has never been beyond the third round at Wimbledon and has a 18-13 win-loss record on the surface. His Wimbledon preparations this year suffered a setback as he was defeated in the first round at Halle by Jan-Lennard Struff.
Asked to address these concerns in a press conference ahead of the ATP 250 event in Mallorca this week, the Russian said he likes playing on grass, but admitted he will need time and match practice to find his best form.
With just a two-week gap between the end of the claycourt season and the start of Wimbledon, adapting to a new surface can prove to be a challenge.
The World No. 2, who stands to gain a lot of ranking points over the next three weeks, said he accepted a wildcard at Mallorca to get more match practice ahead of his trip to London.

Daniil Medvedev believes winning matches will serve as a confidence-booster, which is crucial ahead of a Grand Slam.
