In the dynamic realm of professional tennis, the race for the top spot is always on. A player has to work hard to get to the number one spot but holding the spot for long is an even bigger task due to the lurking competition. Currently, Novak Djokovic is at the top of the table after a memorable victory at the US Open. However, his rival Carlos Alcaraz is right behind him who is eager to snatch his position back.

Russian Star, Daniil Medvedev believes that Carlos will finish the year at the top of the table. In a recent interview, Medvedev revealed his goals by the end of the year. “I don’t think Novak will play too many tournaments, so logic indicates that Carlos would have to finish as #1 at the end of the year,” said Medvedev to the Press.

“Everywhere I go I seek to become champion, so the dream of being number 1 remains alive. But I know I am very far away & that my fight must be more about trying to finish in the top 2 & staying close to the top to be able to attack it at the beginning of 2024.” continued Medvedev.
