Selivanenko – about the results of the season for Medvedev: “Daniil has once again become one of the leading tennis players in the world”

Vice-President of the Russian Tennis Federation (RFF) Alexey Selivanenko believes that at the end of the season, Russian Daniil Medvedev was among the leading tennis players in the world.

For the first time since 2017, Medvedev did not win a single title in a season. His best result was reaching the final of the Australian Open, where he lost to the world number one, Italian Jannik Sinner. Medvedev also played in the final of the Masters series tournament in Indian Wells, where he lost to the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz. At the moment, the Russian ranks 4th in the ATP rankings. In the updated version, he will drop to fifth place.

— Reaching fifth place in the classification at the end of the year in the absence of titles only indicates that Daniil has once again become one of the leading tennis players in the world, but at the same time still inferior to the first four players. As for the next season and the fight for titles, Daniil probably never sets any other goals. He himself says that it is necessary to constantly improve and look for something new in the fight against leaders. Tennis does not stand still, everyone understands this,” Selivanenko told RB Sport.
