Former world number three Nadezhda Petrova talked about who can stop Russian Daniil Medvedev on his way to victory in the ATP Final Tournament. His words were quoted “Match TV”.
“Who can stop Daniel? This is not due to Djokovic, who is as talented as young tennis players Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, who display incredibly athletic and fast tennis. I think Medvedev can be stopped with young blood. So Alcaraz and Sinner can give Daniil the biggest trouble in Turin,” said Petrova.
On November 17, Daniil Medvedev will play the last group match of the tournament against Spanish Carlos Alcaraz. The Russian has already guaranteed his place in the semi-finals.
In the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) rankings, Daniil Medvedev ranks third with 7,200 points and becomes the best Russian player. Rublev is in fifth place (4805 points). Serbian Novak Djokovic continues to lead (9945 points). Spanish Carlos Alcaraz ranks second with 8455 points.
