Daniil Medvedev is one of the fittest tennis players at the moment. He has 17 wins in his last 19 matches and two titles in the last four tournaments (ATP 250 Hangzhou and ATP 250 Almaty). A spectacular streak that has earned him a spot in the ATP Finals in Turin, after easily defeating Adrian Mannarino in the quarterfinals of the ATP 500 in Vienna by 6-2, 6-3.

In this way, the Russian returns to Turin after his absence last year and will be one of the main title contenders given his current form. However, he must first think about the ATP in Basel, where he is already in the semifinals and could face Carlos Alcaraz, provided the Spaniard defeats Tommy Paul in the quarterfinals.

Medvedev will participate for the seventh time in the ATP Finals

Medvedev will play in the Masters Cup for the seventh time, a tournament he knows how to win. He achieved it in 2020, in the last edition held at the O2 Arena in London before moving to Turin. He also reached the final in 2021, where he lost to Alexander Zverev. He also highlights a semifinal appearance in 2023, and in his other three participations, he was eliminated in the Round Robin.

After the Russian's mathematical qualification, only three spots remain for the ATP Finals. The next best positioned is Flavio Cobolli (3680 points), but his withdrawal and possible absence in the Masters 1000 in Paris may allow Arthur Fils (3525 points) to overtake him. Meanwhile, the last spot will be contested between Rafael Jódar (3184), Alex de Miñaur (2930), and Novak Djokovic (2890). Therefore, an intense week in Paris is expected with possible surprises.
