Consultant for Eurosport, Justine Henin reviewed, via the Legends’ voice podcast, the news of the men’s circuit with the new takeover of Daniil Medvedev. And according to the Belgian, the fact that the Russian failed in the final of the Australian Open tarnishes the content of this small feat.
“Daniil Medvedev’s position as number 1 is a bit different from Barty’s. We always like to see a player claim this spot during a period of dominance, as it gives more weight to the achievement. We can say that Medvedev should have won the Australian Open and it is probably something he will regret for a long time. At the start of the year, a lot happened with Djokovic’s absence and Nadal’s madness which reshuffled the cards… all of this makes one forget about Medvedev’s takeover. »
