Head of the Russian Tennis Federation (RFT) Shamil Tarpishchev evaluated the results of the year for Andrei Rublev And Daniel Medvedev .
— Without a doubt, 2023 can be considered a successful year for Medvedev, even if Daniil did not win the Grand Slam tournament. The very fact that Medvedev won 5 titles and 19 finals in one year speaks for itself. Otherwise, one can complain about poor planning, because the failures at the beginning of the year in Grand Slams were caused by the fact that Medvedev was forced to play several matches in a row, which did not have a very good effect.
— Is Medvedev the best Russian tennis player in 2023? Or can Rublev compete with Daniil for this title?
“You can’t make the third player become the second.” There is a grade and there are results. We could talk about something if Medvedev or Rublev won the Grand Slam. The tournament ratings would have been different then,” Tarpishchev said, as quoted by Sport24.
Last season, 27-year-old Medvedev took 3rd place in the ATP rankings and won five singles tournaments – in Rome, Miami, Dubai, Doha and Rotterdam. Rublev, 26, won the Monte Carlo Masters and the tournament in Bostad, Sweden, and finished the year ranked fifth in the world.
