Former tennis player Yevgeny Kafelnikov said after the US Open final between Daniil Medvedev and Novak Djokovic that the Russian could still become the world number one again.
The decisive match of the tournament ended with a score of 6:3, 7:6 (7:5), 6:3 in favor of Djokovic. This is the 36-year-old Serb’s 24th Grand Slam title. On Monday he returned to first place in the world rankings.
— The US Open final is a brilliant achievement. Medvedev is now in the place in the ranking where he should be. Alcaraz and Djokovic are slightly ahead in terms of results and rankings. The third position is well deserved and corresponds to current realities. He can still fight them and reach the first position if he believes in it.
Comparing Daniil with me and Safin is incorrect. Kafelnikov is Kafelnikov, Safin is Safin, Medvedev is Medvedev. But his results speak for themselves,” Metaratings.ru quotes Kafelnikov as saying.
