Tennis Podcast: Is Daniil Medvedev currently the best male player in the world?
Daniil Medvedev has won 29 of his last 32 matches and reached six consecutive finals. But is this just a four-month hot streak or is he actually the leader of the ATP’s next generation and one of the very best in the world?
Opinions differed on this week’s Tennis Podcast as Catherine Whitaker (Amazon Prime Video), David Law (BT Sport, BBC 5 Live) and Matt Roberts discussed the Russian’s latest title in Shanghai.
What makes Medvedev so difficult to play against? How much mentally stronger is he than Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev? Are fans warming to him or being put off by some of his antics? And will he win a Grand Slam title in 2020?
Elsewhere, there’s discussion about Coco Gauff winning her first title as a 15-year-old and the headlines it generated, Dan Evans becoming British No.1, and whether or not getting angry on court helps Roger Federer.
