Medvedev will be able to return the title of the first racket of the world after Roland Garros, Chesnokov believes
Roland Garros semi-finalist and Davis Cup finalist Andrei Chesnokov believes that Daniil Medvedev is able to regain first place in the ATP rankings in the near future.
Medvedev defeated Dane Holger Rune 7:5, 7:5 in the final of the Masters tournament in Rome. For the Russian, this is the first title in a clay tournament, the fifth in 2023 and the 20th in his career. On Monday, the 27-year-old tennis player climbed to second place in the world rankings.
– Now Medvedev is 500 points behind top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz. Potentially already at the next tournament, which will be Roland Garros, Daniil can beat the Spaniard. Medvedev is able to play great there and reach the semi-finals or even the final. Judging by the pattern of the game that he showed at the tournament in Rome, he has every opportunity to perform successfully in Paris,” Chesnokov told Vprognoze.ru.
Medvedev became world number one for the first time in February 2022.
