Medvedev hopes to replicate Davydenko's 2009 run

Mainad · Nov 8, 2019

On the 10th anniversary of Nikolay Davydenko's run to become the 1st and, so far, only Russian to win the WTF (at the inaugural edition held at the O2 in London), Daniil Medvedev, on his debut appearance at this event, hopes to emulate that feat by becoming the 2nd Russian to do so:

Russian Daniil Medvedev Hoping To Replicate Davydenko's 2009 Run At Nitto ATP Finals | ATP Tour | Tennis

Ten years ago, Russian Nikolay Davydenko had teenagers like Daniil Medvedev in awe as they watched him beat Rafael Nadal and Juan Martin del Potro to win the Nitto ATP Finals title in 2009, the first year the season finale was held at The O2 in London.

Fred and Noel have also expressed interest in emulating their 03, 04, 06, 07, 08, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 runs

Med Lad has nothing to lose.

Even if he can’t emulate Kolya, Fed, or Djokovic’s run, he can still emulate another ATG’s run.

unfortunately that ATG might be Nadal

He is ahead of Nadal. He is already balding.

Apparently he got through a honeymoon without injury too.

It’s a curse on any London non-Fedovic champion: the last three champions have combined for two ATP250 and one ATP500 titles since their London successes; Davydenko won only two ATP250 titles. Four guys with 5 titles after usurping the O2 throne!

Only Nalbandian did OK after winning TMC’05 in Shanghai, winning 7 times (2 M1Ks) after edging fedr in 5.

Would be pretty cool symmetry if a Russian opened and closed the Little Moscow... Sorry, I mean London years of the ATP Finals.

Aww Davy. That was a beautiful run

Djokovic2011 · Nov 9, 2019

Hang on a minute - Davydenko won the 2009 WTF?!

I was led to believe that Nadal did given that @vive le beau jeu ! stated this time last year that it was his best ever hard court tournament!

youngpolyhater · Nov 9, 2019

Federer was 2 points away from the win in the SF.

So many chances wasted by this dude

Flashback 2009: Nikolay Davydenko’s Biggest Win | Nitto ATP Finals

For one spell-binding week in November 2009, everything that Nikolay Davydenko touched turned to gold. Among the glitterati of the ATP World Tour, in the first year of dry ice walk-ons and extravagant show production, the Russian produced exquisite tennis on the wooden boards of The O2 in London...

The loss to Djokovic in the RR stage prevents it from being perfect

mike danny · Nov 9, 2019

WTF 2009 was one of the best editions. Every candidate played well and deserved to be there, except Nadal.

Even Verdasco proved hos worth even if he didn't win a match. He at least didn't bend over.

Interestingly Sampras never had a perfect run in any of his 5 YEC titles so I guess Davy is in very good company.

Yeah sorry. Got mixed up with his Y/E #1s.

That is the reason Fed is far and away better at YEC at this point. Djokovic can join him if he does well here.

Lol it's weird to see him playing around and having fun isn't it? Yeah he won Money in the Bank this year and started using the briefcase as a boombox lol it was fn GOLD.

No, he can’t. Equaling a predecessor is just riding on their coattails. Djokovic needs at least four more titles before he joins Federer’s level at this particular event.

Tennisaddict often says that Nadal and Djokovic need to go way past Federer given that he did it all first.

I do! It's one of my proudest traits!

Would be a great deal for him if he manages to replicate Kolya's achievement. It's a pity his game isn't as entertaining.

Epic!

OldschoolKIaus · Nov 10, 2019

Will Medvedev even use Polystar Energy strings?

UnderratedSlam · Nov 10, 2019

Medvedevious won't have the kind of luck Davydenko had, i.e. playing an opponent in the finale with a wrist injury.

Medvedev hopes to replicate Davydenko's 2009 run
