Daniil Medvedev bowed his head to leave BNP Paribas Open 2022. The fact that he did not reach the quarter -final of this tournament made the Russian tennis player disadvantaged compared to Novak Djokovic, regardless of Serbian player did not play for nearly a month. Because with the failure to accumulate the necessary points, while being deducted 150 points at the Marseille expansion last year, Medvedev had less points than Djokovic.
Thus, Medvedev achieved a total of 8445 points, the second.
The player who has the most change in the top 20 is Taylor Fritz. After the men's singles championship at BNP Paribas Open – the first ATP 1000 title in his career – this American tennis player has improved 7 places on the rankings, from 20th to 13th rank.
With Djokovic, when the disease is no longer harsh, leading to a loosening policy in some countries, it is only sooner or later. The Roland Garros has confirmed that Djokovic will play. This move is likely to help him accumulate more points needed to reign longer on the top.
In contrast, Medvedev is being “chased” throughout the felt balls when he is a Russian tennis player. Russian sports athletes are subject to a ban from the West, so it will be very little Medvedev can participate in tournaments from now to the end of the year.
This will be a disadvantage for him. Medvedev for the first time in his career became the world's No. 1 and he also became the first player in addition to Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray No. 1 in the world for decades. But the happy day with him probably just stopped here.
