You will be more hooked on him if Nadal retires eekHeh, I was just browsing around, trying to figure out when his first match was....should have just checked here first. Thanks, @octobrina10 and @I Am Finnish. i'm getting a bit hooked on Daniil!
I want a few years of a Rafa-Daniil rivalry, same with Zverev and Tsitsipas with the Russian. As others have said, it’s more exciting to have some new blood that can actually compete now with the old champs!You will be more hooked on him if Nadal retires eek

World No. 4 Daniil Medvedev pulls out of Kremlin Cup

The return of the Mad Lad is imminent! Paris Masters starts on Monday. Interesting stat for Mad Lad enthusiasts: if he wins out (5-0 in Paris, 5-0 in London), he'll have a top 5 season of all time in terms of hard court wins in a season. He's 46-9 if you include Davis Cup (45-9 without). Record is 59 in 2006 by Roger Federer and in 2015 by Novak Djokovic.
All four on indoor. That has to play into it.Guys what do you think happened to Meddy after Shanghai, to cause four losses in a row?? What will his early 2020 look like?

Mecir, aka The Big Cat, would be the closest but he was at least three inches shorter, still quite tall for his era.Was watching this, and it's just crazy that his strength is his speed on the court, not necessarily any of his strokes, like a tall De Minaur:
Have there been any tall players in the past who can move as well as Daniil?
Such appalling behaviour from him. I’m very disappointed
Why are you surprised? Didn’t you see the US Open shenanigans?
I’m looking forward to Medvedev beating Djokovic in the ATP Cup semis
Med should absolutely have been defaulted for this behavior. The meltdowns among the next gen p-ssies this week have been whiny brat meltdowns. They all need to grow a pair.That is going too far.

I'm looking forward to the opposite and then Djokovic getting his hands on Nadal.
Apart from 2nd round, issa tuff draw 4 sureMad Lad's projected AO campaign in 2020:
1R: Tiafoe
2R: Köpfer/Qualifier
3R: Tsonga
4R: Wawrinka/Isner/Kecmanovic
QF:Zverev/Goffin/Rublev

You think he has a real chance to defeat Nadal and Djokovic back to back? Or are you assuming one or both will lose before meeting Med?If his form is similar to Washington through Shanghai,t hen he has a real chance to win this.

Is this what you asked Santy Claus for?I don't like Medvedev, but I want him to beat Novak so roger can win the US open
LETS GOOOOOOOAlright Medheads, schedule going forward will be:
02/03 Off
02/10 Rotterdam 500
02/17 Marseilles 250
02/24 Off
03/02 Off
03/09 Indian Wells Masters (2 weeks)
03/23 Miami Masters (2 weeks)
He's only defending 205 total points, while those 4 tournaments represent 2,750 total points. Good chances of moving up in points over the next 2 months.
Name | Points In | Points Defending | Points Pre-Tournament |
Dominic Thiem #3 | 7045 | 1000 | 6045 |
Roger Federer #4 | 6630 | 600 | 6030 |
Daniil Medvedev #5 | 5890 | 45 | 5890 |
Excited for himIndian Wells is just about here! Going in to the tournament, Daniil is only defending 45 points. At the start of the tournament, with points dropping from IW2019, it'll look like this:
Name Points In Points Defending Points Pre-Tournament Dominic Thiem #3 7045 1000 6045 Roger Federer #4 6630 600 6030 Daniil Medvedev #5 5890 45 5890
So, he will be 140 points behind Federer and 155 points behind Thiem. Another great opportunity to move up. Fed obviously isn't participating, so he simply needs a QF (180 points) to leapfrog him. To pass up Thiem, he needs a QF plus a Thiem 2nd round loss, or at least get one round further than Thiem with a SF or better (SF vs QF, F vs SF, W vs F). He will pass Federer no matter what after Miami, but it'd be nice to jump from #5 to #3 in the next two weeks, given an excellent opportunity to do so.
I'm waiting for the break out. Has to happen eventually haha.Excited for him
Hope he can regain his form
