Medvedev looking to usher in new era after Shanghai win: 'Everybody is talking that they need new guys, I gave them something new'

Daniil Medvedev has been imperious for the past few months and is seen as one of, if not the best player in the world right now and that showed this past week in Shanghai.

Medvedev defeated Alexander Zverev in the final and for the Russian despite knowing the importance of winning this event; he wants to quickly go onto the next one and sees it as doing his job more than anything.

With a lot of talk of ushering in a new era, he wants to do so and believes he has given fans someone new compared to the big three.

"This one is also amazing because Shanghai I think is one of the most prestigious Masters [1000 tournaments] on the Tour," Medvedev said. "Especially in the past 10 years, there were only three players who managed to win this one, so it’s really special to have my photo in the corridor over the next many years."

"Everybody is talking that they need new guys, something new, so I gave them something new," Medvedev added. "I don’t celebrate my wins. I just stay calm, I do my job. Boom, done."
