Russian Daniil Medvedev plays at the level of the top five tennis players in the world, we should always expect victories from him at the Grand Slam tournaments, said Shamil Tarpishchev, president of the Russian Tennis Federation.
On Saturday, Medvedev won the ATP 250 tournament in Doha. In the final, the 27-year-old tennis player beat Briton Andy Murray with a score of 6:4, 6:4. The match lasted 1 hour 46 minutes.
– I can’t say that until recently Medvedev had an unsuccessful series of games. Daniil just starts playing better and better every time, gaining stability. He trains and goes on increasing. In yesterday’s match, there was no doubt that he might not win. With Murray, he played well on the back line, and in other moments, no one had an advantage. Andy’s main trump cards are tenacity and density in the game, and in this component Medvedev outplayed him. Therefore, the result is natural.
We should always expect Grand Slams from Daniil. In reality, Medvedev is now playing at the level of the top five tennis players in the world. There are a lot of equal players in the top of the rating now, maybe only Djokovic stands out. But in order to remove Novak from the first line in the ranking at the end of the season, you need to win Grand Slam tournaments, and Djokovic now has an advantage after winning the Australian Open.
Plus, the Serbian tennis player is really the best at the moment, so it’s unlikely that anyone will be able to get to Djokovic this year. But in some Grand Slam tournaments, anything can happen, – Tarpischev told Metaratings.ru.
Medvedev won the second tournament in a row, last week he won the tournament in Rotterdam. In the updated ATP ranking, the tennis player should rise to seventh place.

Elina Svitolina (WTA 12) will face Mirra Andreeva (WTA 7) in the fourth round of the Australian Open on January 25.
The match is scheduled to start at 12:00 Kyiv time.
Sport.ua together with a betting partner bet announcing the upcoming fight!
Elina Svitolina
The Ukrainian athlete started this season brilliantly and currently has a streak of eight wins in official tournaments. Svitolina has already won the title in Auckland but she needs to perform well at the majors.
In the first round, the athlete defeated Spaniard Krystyna Buksha with scores of 6:4, 6:1, then defeated the young Polish player Linda Klimovichova with scores of 7:5, 6:1. The most difficult was the last match against the “neutral” Diana Schneider – 7:6, 6:3, in this match there were up to nine breaks. Svitolina won the last fight with her experience, made a little less mistakes, won a little more and finally put the finishing touches on her opponent.
The best performance at the Australian Open was in the quarter-finals; This was achieved three times, thus putting the tennis player one step away from repeating his personal best. If successful, Elina will compete with the winner of the Gauff-Mukhova pairing.
Mirra Andreeva
The “neutral” team also starts the season well but rarely behaves with dignity on the field. Andreeva reached the quarter-finals in Brisbane, where she deservedly lost to Marta Kostyuk in two sets. Later, the athlete managed to win the championship in Adelaide, beating Canadian Mboko in the final.
The tennis player is 18 years old and is not bothered by his busy schedule. Despite its place in the top 10, it lacks emotional stability. Andreeva started this tournament with a tough win against Donna Vekic – 4:6, 6:3, 6:0, then beat Greek Maria Sakkari 6:4, 6:0 and in the last match she beat Romanian Elena-Gabriela Ruse 6:3, 6:4. At the Australian Major the neutral team never advanced beyond the fourth round.
personal meetings
The tennis players played each other only once; The match took place in the quarter-finals of the Indian Wells tournament in March last year. Andreeva then won with scores of 7:5 and 6:3.
To guess
Bookmakers give a slight advantage to the “neutral”, which is explained by the fact that it is higher in the rankings and is also 13 years younger. Svitolina’s motivation will be very high in such a match.
I don’t think the winner will be determined quickly, so I’m betting on 1.76 out of 21.5 games in total.
