Former Soviet tennis player Anna Dmitrieva spoke with about the prospects of the Russian tennis player Daniel Medvedev in the fight for the top 3 of the ATP ranking, and also noted that Jannik sinner will claim the top spot in the near future.
In January, the Italian won his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, defeating Medvedev in the final (3:6, 3:6, 6:4, 6:4, 6:3). In February, Sinner won the tournament in Rotterdam and ousted the Russian from third place in the ATP rankings.
— Can Medvedev earn his place in the top three?
— Everything will depend on Dani’s performance. Everything is in Medvedev’s hands. There is no doubt that Sinner will play well, but Medvedev can play just as well. The Russian will have to defend a lot of points in the spring, but he is certainly mentally prepared for that.
— What changes can we expect in Sinner’s game after his first Grand Slam title?
“He’s on the rise now and isn’t expected to slow down.” Yannick is in good shape and will fight for first place in the rankings. Major tournament victories eluded Sinner last year and the year before. At the end of last season, the Italian found his tennis again and is now in perfect shape. Sinner will not be satisfied with third place, her ambitions are great,” Dmitrieva told .
The leader of the ATP ranking is Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic (9855 points), the second place is occupied by Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz (9105), followed by Sinner (8270), Medvedev (8265) and Andrey Rublev (5105) .
