Medvedev is not good at usurpation Djokovic, indifferent to the world number 1

(Sports news, tennis news) Medvedev was determined to usurp Novak Djokovic’s No. 1 position but failed this week. In another development, this player had difficulty at Wimbledon.

Medvedev’s defeat against Hurkacz

Daniil Medvedev’s determination to regain the world No. 1 position on April 4 had to temporarily be shelved when he could not do the “necessary conditions”, going to the semifinals of the Miami Open 2022. With the loss, Hubert Hurkacz (Three) Lan) in the quarterfinals, the 26-year-old tennis player will not be able to take the first place next week.

Medvedev determined to take the No. 1 position of Djokovic

In the post-match press conference, instead of expressing regret, Medvedev expressed: “For me, the way to win a match is more important than winning to win the No. 1 position. I consider the No. 1 position in the world as a It’s just the reward, I’m not bothered about it. I’ve been through all kinds of different pressures. This match, I didn’t play well so I couldn’t win.”

Consecutive defeats at Indian Wells and Miami Masters 2022 show that Medvedev is once again not playing well on hard courts in North America. In recent times, the performance of the world No. 2 has not been good, so the most important thing for Medvedev is to find the inspiration to compete and temporarily forget the world No. 1 position.

Recently, Medvedev and his Russian compatriots and Belarusian colleagues received bad news. If they want to play at Wimbledon 2022, these players will have to sign a pledge not to support the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Previously, organizations sport other like football, basketball, rugby… also banned athletes and teams from Russia and Belarus from competing. Tennis is still open to athletes from these two countries on the condition that they play under a neutral flag.

No one wants conflicts, and tennis players are no exception, but disagreeing with state leaders is a completely different story. Medvedev said he always wanted “peace” but expressed only a general view on the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

If he continues to hold that position, Medvedev may not be able to play at Wimbledon 2022.
