Daniil Medvedev advances steadily in the 2024 ATP Shanghai. After a successful start in the Chinese Masters 1000, the Russian player attends a press conference to discuss his chances of winning the title in the final. He also reflects on the season so far, whether he is meeting his goals, being as honest as he usually is with the media.

Chances of winning in the 2024 ATP Shanghai

"Win the title? Regardless of the tournament I play, I can reach the final, as I have demonstrated many times. It's not easy, but I will give my best effort to try to improve my game in every match here, serve better each time, and try to win it," confesses Medvedev at a press conference. Last year, he was eliminated in the second round of the tournament. Despite his dissatisfaction with the balls in this edition, Daniil is confident of going far.

Summary of his season: Has he achieved his goals?

"I've had some ups and downs, but overall, I'd say it's not bad, not perfect, zero titles, so definitely not perfect. I had some good victories, some good streaks. It's tough playing against Jannik and Carlos, but I managed to defeat Jannik in the Wimbledon quarterfinals, playing very well. Against Carlos, in fact, in the three matches I played this year, I felt like I was playing even better than before, but still lost. I feel there's room for improvement, but at the same time, it's not so bad. The goals I have left are to try to win a title," explains the Russian.

Are titles the best measure of success?

"In tennis, yes. If you reach the four Grand Slam finals, you can even become the world number one without winning a title, but yes, the title is the best feeling. Regardless of the tournament you play, 250, Challenger, Masters, Grand Slam, the title is the best feeling. I've also played well in some tournaments, so I'm not saying my year has been bad, but the title always makes me feel good, and I still have some opportunities."
