After not playing the third Grand Slam of the season, Daniil Medvedev returns hungry for more success at the 2022 Los Cabos Open.
The Russian started another week as world number 1 and since his biggest challenger, Alexander Zverev is currently injured, Daniil Medvedev has bigger chance of keeping his no. 1 spot. He will start against a home wild-card Rodrigo Pacheco or qualifier Rinky Hijikata and so it will be a good match to get back to the rhythm after more than a month for the 2021 US Open champion.
“For sure I’m watching [the battle for No. 1] a little bit,” Medvedev told ATPTour.com. “Depends also the moment because I know at the end of the year, unless I try to win every tournament that is left, it’s probably going to be Rafa [Nadal] for [year-end No. 1]. But at the same time, I can keep it for quite a long time I feel like if I play good here in the [North American hard-court swing].”
“I know that the most important is to try to win tournaments, try to win those points,” Medvedev said. “Then you can keep [World No. 1]. Every opponent can be tough so the more matches you win, the more confidence you gain, the more you start feeling your game better, what you have to do better, so that’s what I’m going to try to do here in Los Cabos.”
