Although Medvedev lost to Alpulco's final, he became the most talked about person in tennis this week. The reason is that he broke the rule of the Big Four for many years and became the first in the world of Xinke.
Then again, how long can he be the number one in the world? Or, after he enters this list, how many weeks can he add to the follow-up process?
In the previous 26 world No. 1, the last few are:
Raft 1 week
As a two-time US Open champion, the Australian beard actually stayed at the top of the list for only one week, which can be imagined how fierce the competition was at that time. The reason is that he is in the same era as a generation of heavenly pride Sampras.
Moya 2 weeks
Nadal's coach, former French Open champion Moya, also has only two weeks to go, which is no match for his own disciples.
Muster/Rios/Kafernikov 6 weeks
Of the three, Muster is a clay master of a generation, and Chilean lone wolf Rios is the only world number one who has never won a Grand Slam title.
As for the last one, it happened to be Kafernikov, Medvedev's predecessor. The maestro has won Grand Slam titles and Olympic gold medals, but the Masters champion has been in debt.
Today, Mei Zong is already four Masters champions in hand, and as long as he wins another Olympic gold medal, he will surpass this predecessor in terms of personal achievements.
Counting further, there is Alcaraz's current coach Ferrero, which is 8 weeks.
The Spaniards, nicknamed mosquitoes, have also won the French Open in history. Under his tutelage in the past two years, Alcaraz's effect was immediate and his progress was rapid.
Another of Medvedev's predecessors, Safin, stayed in the world's number one position for 9 weeks as an unborn genius.
Although he has won two Grand Slam titles, the outside world is more of a sigh for him. If it is not a premature retirement, who knows where is his limit! Everyone would have liked to see him competing with Federer, but unfortunately it backfired!
Djokovic's former coach Becker spent 12 weeks on the pitch, and the famous man was on the pitch, which was a stormy year, but in recent years he has had a very sloppy life.
Roddick, who has been hailed as the strongest slam, also had only 13 weeks to defend the world number one and year-end honors in the 2003 season, when Federer rose to fame, allowing the latter to reach the world number one for the first time until February of the following year.
So the question is, how long do you think Medvedev will eventually be able to stay in the world number one position? Is it possible to surpass these predecessors? (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo ChengQiye)
