Medvedev In The Magic City: Top seed Medvedev leads the field in Miami, and he brings with him plenty of momentum. The Russian led his country to glory at the ATP Cup, reached his second Grand Slam final at the Australian Open and arrived in Florida after winning at the Open 13 Provence in Marseille. Medvedev will be going for his fourth ATP Masters 1000 title. This will be his third appearance in the Miami tournament. In his previous two showings, Medvedev lost against the World No. 5 (l. to Zverev in 2018, l to Federer in 2019).

Breaking Up The Big Four: Medvedev also arrived in Miami with a new number next to his name. The 25-year-old will be making his debut as the World No. 2 in the FedEx ATP Rankings. His rise marked the first time a player outside the Big Four — Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray — held a top two spot since Lleyton Hewitt was World No. 2 in July 2005.

Medvedev: World No. 2 ‘Just Gives Me Some Energy’

Spoiler:

Russian enters Miami as top seed
Daniil Medvedev feels no added pressure since breaking a 15-year stranglehold on the top two of the FedEx ATP Rankings a week ago. It would have been understandable had he carried the weight of expectation on the eve of the Miami Open presented by Itau, where he arrived as top seed.

Last Monday, the Russian became the first player other than Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer or Andy Murray to be ranked in the top two since 2005. It only bolstered his belief that he belonged among the elite.

“It's been already one week, I could feel maybe pressure, [but] no, I feel like it just gives me some energy boost,” Medvedev said. “I just want to play better and better to prove to myself I deserve this and hopefully I can show some great tennis in Miami.”

The Russian started the season by winning all four matches he played to lead his nation to ATP Cup glory in Melbourne (d. Italy), before he advanced to his second Grand Slam final at the Australian Open last month (l. to Djokovic). Victory in the Open 13 Provence final in Marseille – his 10th career ATP Tour title – last Sunday was an early gift, a day before his new career-high ranking was released.

“Definitely being top seed for a Masters [1000] event, especially this one in Miami, being No. 2 in the world, I'm enjoying the moment. I don’t feel the pressure except for the pressure that I like to win matches and I want to win every tournament I play.

“Since I was young this pressure always stays with me, but I feel like it's a good competitive pressure. I don't really feel pressure from the outside because I know that if I play good I have my chances to win the tournaments and that's the most important.”

After claiming an ATP Tour-leading 59 match wins in 2019, highlighted by a 29-3 stretch that included six straight finals and his first ATP Masters 1000 title (Cincinnati), Medvedev picked up where he left off in 2020. He won his last 10 matches of the season and secured the Nitto ATP Finals trophy. His ascent to No. 2 did not come out of the blue.

“To be honest it was such a long time ago everything changed,” he said. “I became … more mature in terms of tennis, in terms of life also. I worked a lot on the practice court, improved big time my tennis, my physical[ity] for sure, my mental strength. All of these small details, they count.”

The three-time Masters 1000 winner plays either Sam Querrey or Yen-Hsun Lu in his opening match in Miami. He has not faced either player in four years, but recalls vividly their respective encounters.

“I remember I beat both of them,” he said. “Especially against Sam, it was on grass and he made the semis at Wimbledon after the tournament so it was an amazing win for me at the time … I'm gonna see who wins and then prepare a little bit for the winner.

“Yen-Hsun Lu is a really solid baseline player. Sam is different - big serve, big forehand. For sure two different plans depending who I play.”

Medvedev Makes Miami Statement

Spoiler:

Russian to face Popyrin in third round
Daniil Medvedev made the perfect start to his Miami Open presented by Itau title bid on Friday, as he charged past Yen-Hsun Lu 6-2, 6-2.

The Russian struck 24 winners and dropped just four points behind his first serve (22/26) to advance in 56 minutes. Medvedev, who is competing as the top seed at an ATP Masters 1000 for the first time, is the second player to reach 15 wins this season (15-2). Medvedev’s countryman, Andrey Rublev, leads the ATP Tour with 16 victories this year (16-3).

“It was not easy to play today with the windy conditions," Medvedev said in an on-court interview. "I am happy that I managed to keep my nerve, play solid and not make so many mistakes… Everything worked well and I am looking forward to the next round.”



The World No. 2 is aiming to add more silverware to his 2021 trophy collection in Miami. Medvedev has already led Russia to the ATP Cup title (d. Italy) and captured his 10th ATP Tour crown in Marseille (d. Herbert) this season.

Medvedev refused to make errors in the opening stages of the match. The reigning Nitto ATP Finals champion showcased his defensive skills in several extended baseline rallies and ripped a backhand winner up the line to lead by a double break after just seven minutes. Medvedev repeated the same pattern in the second set with increased forehand aggression and closed the second-round encounter with his ninth ace of the match.

Medvedev will face Singapore champion Alexei Popyrin in the third round. The Aussie advanced to the third round at a Masters 1000 event for the first time with a 6-4, 6-2 win against 30th seed Reilly Opelka.

“All of the hard work I’ve put in the pre-season is paying off, 11 wins in 14 matches,” Popyrin told ATPTour.com. “I really thought I was consistent during the match. Putting in lots of returns is difficult when Reilly is firing down 230 km/h bombs.”
