The second month of 2022 is not over, and we are already witnessing history again – a series of reports on Russia's war with Ukraine is being screened across platforms.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the picture of athletes from different countries getting along happily and harmoniously has not yet dissipated, and the tense situation of less than a week has made everyone sensitive.
As Russia becomes the center of international politician opinion, a professional tennis player from Russia has also created a new history – with Viselli defeating Djokovic in the 1/4 final in Dubai, the Fernard mu big four's domination of the men's singles world throne since February 2, 2004 will come to a temporary end.
1996-born Medvedev will officially replace Djokovic next week as the 27th world number one since the introduction of a computer points system in men's tennis in 1973.
Maybe just listening to the time cut-off point of 2004 is not perceived, specifically a full 18 years, 943 weeks, 6601 days, this number is quite terrifying.
As the third Russian in history to reach the top of the men's singles world number one (the first two being Kafernikov and Safin), Medvedev officially moved into professional tennis in 2014, and his first tour title of his career was only four years ago.
At the beginning of the 2018 season, Medvedev beat local youngster Deminaar in the Sydney International Tournament to win the first title of his career, and in August the Salem Open he defeated Johansson to win the second crown.
Immediately after the Japan Open in October, Medvedev also reached the men's singles final and defeated local darling Kei Nishikori to win the first ATP500 title of his career.
Of course, Medvedev's real outbreak was in 2019, when he made a historic breakthrough on the higher-level Masters stage, including the Cincinnati station that won the championship and beat Djokovic and other strong players all the way.
In the last Grand Slam tournament of 2019, Medvedev reached the first Grand Slam singles final of his career, although he was eventually defeated by Nadal to get runner-up, but as the third post-90s male player to reach the Grand Slam final, Medvedev was undoubtedly more optimistic.
Sure enough, in the following seasons Medvedev took one step at a time, not only pocketing the ATP year-end finals championship and Grand Slam championship, but now squeezing out Djokovic to become the world number one in the new science.
There is no doubt that Medvedev, who has just turned 26, is in the prime of his career, and his performances in the ATP Cup and the Australian Open this season have further proved his ability, and he looks forward to Medvedev's continued victory in the future!
