In the US Open 2021, Daniil Medvedev made history. In the final, before the world player Novak Djokovic, the Russian star had an extremely impressive 3-0 victory to be crowned. This is also the first Grand Slam title in his career.
The US Open championship has a huge meaning with Medvedev. From now until the end of the year, the world's No. 2 player still has a number of important tournaments to be able to improve their achievements. Sharing before the press, Medvedev confirmed his goal was to win the No. 1 position on the ATP rankings from Djokovic.
“The world's No. 1 position is still my top goal. This season, although Novak did not play in some Masters, he still won 3 Slams and reached the final at the US Open. Therefore, it is reasonable that he holds the No. 1 position.
If I catch up with Novak this year, that's great. If not, I will continue to try.
For me, experience is the key to success. This is also the factor that helps me win the US Open final. My biggest goal is to work hard and become my best version in every tournament, whether Slam or 250 ”, Medvedev said.
Currently, Medvedev is ranked 2nd in the ATP rankings with 9630 points. He is still inferior to Djokovic 1800 points. In early November, the two will compete together at Paris Masters before participating in ATP Finals.
