Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev spoke about the status of the first racket of the world. His words are quoted by the website of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP).
“It adds pressure, but also gives even more motivation,” Medvedev shared. He stated that he would try to score as many points as possible at the upcoming tournament in American Indian Wells. The tennis player noted that it will not be easy, because the composition of the participants is very strong.
At the tournament in Indian Wells, the Russian seeded under the first number will enter the fight from the second round. In addition to Medvedev, the winner of the Australian Open Spaniard Rafael Nadal, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion Alexander Zverev and others will take part in the competition. Of the Russians, Andrei Rublev and Karen Khachanov will also play in the tournament. Serb Novak Djokovic withdrew from the tournament after he was denied entry to the United States due to his refusal to be vaccinated.
February 28 Medvedev for the first time in his career became the first racket of the world. The 26-year-old Russian has an ATP rating of 8615 points. He beat former leader Djokovic. The Serbian tennis player now has 8465 points. Zverev closes the top three with 7515 points.
