With the US Open right around the corner, Russian professional Daniil Medvedev is one of the strongest contenders for winning the final major tournament of the season at the Flushing Meadows. Ahead of the commencement of the tournament, Medvedev talked about his chances at this year’s US Open.

Medvedev said “Will not having played at Wimbledon help me for the US Open and the rest of the year? I really hope so, although you can never be sure. In any case, it allowed me to do a big three-week preparation for the US Open and the end of the season, which very rarely happens in the middle of the year. With my team, we did a lot of work. Physically and mentally, I hope to be 100% until the end of the year.“

“Over the past 12 months, a lot has happened. The Australian Open, the world No. 1 spot, my injury this spring, wins, losses… a player’s life does not exist without all these things, but I take it all as experience,” Medvedev added further in the latest edition of The Player’s Voice.

Medvedev is undoubtedly one of the strongest contenders for the US Open this time around as he will be looking to defend the title that he won in a thrilling final against Novak Djokovic last year.
