The return of the title of the first racket of Russia by Daniil Medvedev is a common achievement that should not be concentrated on, President of the Russian Tennis Federation Shamil Tarpishchev told RBC Sport.
— Usual achievement, our rating changes every week, so there is nothing surprising, there will be many more changes. It makes no sense to concentrate on this, since he was the first racket of the world. Over the next two or three weeks, Medvedev can try to be in the top five already, there the difference in points is small from the Americans. Last season for Medvedev was not so successful due to an injury, then he missed about three months and lost points during this time, ”Tarpishchev said.
In the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) rankings updated on Monday, Medvedev moved up to sixth place. He beat compatriot Andrey Rublev. On March 4, Medvedev defeated Rublev in the final of the ATP 500 tournament in Dubai, and earlier he knocked out the world’s number one Serb Novak Djokovic from the fight.
