When in Rome 👀 Daniil Medvedev wins a clay court @atptour Masters title!
Underrated: Daniil Medvedev becomes only player since 2016 to reach 9+ finals in a single season twice

Russia’s tennis star Daniil Medvedev achieved yet another
milestone but remains extremely underrated.
The 27-year-old became the first player since 2016 to reach nine
or more finals in a year on two occasions. He did that in 2019 and in 2023.
Medvedev recently reached the final of the US Open where he
lost to the current world number one Serbia’s Novak Djokovic with a score of 6-3,
7-6, 6-3.
Despite that defeat, the current world number three ended up
winning five ATP titles in the calendar year.
His first title came in Rotterdam in February where he defeated
Italy’s Jannik Sinner in the final with a score of 5-7, 6-2, 62-.
Medvedev then clinched the title in Doha after beating the former
world number one Andy Murray in the final with a score of 6-4, 6-4.
In Dubai, the Moscow-born lifted another ATP title, beating fellow countryman Andrey Rublev in the final with a score of 6-2,
6-2.
Later in Miami, Medvedev defeated Sinner once again in the
final to lift another title with a score of 7-5, 6-3.
In Rome, the 2021 US Open winner defeated Holger Rune of
Denmark to win the title with a score of 7-5, 7-5.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
