THE COST OF FAILURE: DANIIL MEDVEDEV'S COMMITMENT TO TOP 10 RETURN
Former World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev is dissatisfied with his year-end No. 13 ranking, stating he would retire if he accepted it. He is focused on improving fitness and consistency for a strong 2026 comeback.
Daniil Medvedev says he'll retire if he's ever satisfied with his ranking, making it clear he wants to be higher in the standings by the end of 2026.
The 2025 season was tough for the Russian. He only won a single match at the Grand Slams, causing him to slide down the rankings.
Medvedev finished the year ranked No. 13, marking his first season outside the world's top 10.
In 2024, he ended the season at No. 4, just 70 points from cracking the top four.
If I'm still ranked the same at the end of 2026? "I won't be happy, which is a good thing," said the 2021 US Open champ at an exhibition event in St. Petersburg.
That's why I'm still playing. If I liked my ranking, I'd probably retire.
I just hope I can play as well as I did at the end of this year because it wasn't too bad.”
Two years ago, Medvedev finished the year ranked No. 3 after making it to the Wimbledon semi-finals (losing to Carlos Alcaraz) and the US Open final (losing to Novak Djokovic).
Since then, he's had trouble getting back to that level, and he went more than two years without winning a title.
He finally broke that streak at the 2025 ATP 250 event in Almaty, beating Corentin Moutet 7-5, 4-6, 6-3 in the final.
About two weeks before that, Medvedev reached the Shanghai Masters semi-finals, his first time in the final four of a Masters 1000 event since Indian Wells in 2024.
But Arthur Rinderknech came back to win 4-6, 6-2, and 6-4 and advance to the final.
"I know I can play even better than I did at the end of the season in terms of being more consistent because some matches were great," Medvedev admitted.
Like the match against [Alex] De Minaur in the quarter-finals in Shanghai. I couldn't have played better.
But I could have been more consistent. So I'm going to work on my fitness to keep up the pace and play well in several tournaments in a row, like before.
And I hope I can play well from one tournament to the next.
Medvedev kicks off his 2026 season in Adelaide from January 12 to 17, using the tournament to warm up for the Australian Open.
He's reached the final of the first Grand Slam of the year three times, losing to Djokovic in straight sets in 2021 and losing after leading two sets to love against Rafael Nadal in 2022 and Jannik Sinner in 2024.
He only has to defend 400 ranking points between the Australian tournaments and Indian Wells. This means the one-time Grand Slam champion is aiming to get back into the world's top 10 soon.
Medvedev is just 230 points behind the current world No. 10, Jack Draper.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC LANDS IN ATHENS AFTER HISTORIC AUSTRALIAN OPEN RUNNER-UP FINISH
After a historic loss to Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic returns to his family in Athens to reset for the 2026 tennis season.
After losing his first Australian Open final to Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic just wanted to see his family.
Djokovic landed in Athens on Tuesday, wrapping up two weeks away from home and marking his 38th appearance in a major final.
For the first time ever, Novak walked away from Rod Laver Arena with the runner-up trophy. At 36, he became the oldest finalist in Australian Open history, but Alcaraz stopped him in four sets: 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5. The match lasted just over three hours.
This was Djokovic's first tournament in more than two months, and even so, he showed why people call him a legend. He cruised through the first three rounds and reached the last 16 without much fuss.
In the fourth round, Jakub Mensik had to pull out with an abdominal injury, so Novak got a walkover and saved some energy for the big matches ahead. But things nearly fell apart a few days later. Lorenzo Musetti took the first two sets in their quarterfinal, and for a moment, Djokovic looked like he might be headed home early. Then, out of nowhere, Musetti retired in the third set, and suddenly Novak was through to his 13th Australian Open semi-final.
Next up was Jannik Sinner, the two-time defending champ. Djokovic had to dig deep. Twice he came back from a set down and eventually won 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 after more than four hours on court. He fought off 16 out of 18 break points and weathered over 70 winners from Sinner, proving that belief really does go a long way. At 36, he marched into his 38th major final.
Djokovic left everything on court against Alcaraz. He started strong, but the Spaniard found his rhythm and took control in the second and third sets, racking up five breaks. In the fourth, Novak saved six break points early on and kept pace, even earning a break chance at 4-all. Then he missed a forehand he’d usually make, and just like that, his shot at a fifth set slipped away.
Alcaraz broke late in the set and sealed the win, handing Djokovic his first-ever loss in an Australian Open final. Now, Novak’s taking some time off to be with his family. He’s expected back on court soon, probably in Doha, but right now, only he knows how his schedule will look.
WHO IS SAMUEL LOPEZ? MEET THE COACH BEHIND CARLOS ALCARAZ’S 2026 AUSTRALIAN OPEN GLORY
Discover the touching moment Carlos Alcaraz saw coach Samuel Lopez receive a trophy after his Australian Open victory.
Carlos Alcaraz just pulled off something huge—he beat Novak Djokovic in four sets (2:6, 6:2, 6:3, 7:5) to win the Australian Open. With this win, he joins the legends of the Open era, becoming one of the rare players to snag at least one title at all four Grand Slams.
Here’s the wild part: Alcaraz is just 22. Actually, he turns 23 on May 5, so he’s still got plenty of time. This marks his seventh Grand Slam title already. For a bit of perspective, Djokovic had only one Grand Slam trophy at Alcaraz’s age.
Since he’d never won the Australian Open before, Alcaraz didn’t really know the drill for the trophy ceremony. His coach, Samuel Lopez, got a trophy too, which caught Carlos off guard—in a good way. Their partnership has clearly paid off.
Talking to the media, Alcaraz said he loved that coaches get recognised with their own trophy. He hadn’t seen that before and thought it was a fantastic idea, since a champion’s journey isn’t a solo effort. Watching Samuel Lopez get his moment meant a lot to him. “It’s wonderful, and when I saw him there, I was so happy because I know Samuel has been working toward this moment his whole life. For me, he’s one of the best coaches—if not the best—you can have on a tennis court today. For me, it was a magical and incredibly special moment: hugging him after the last point and also seeing him there, with everyone recognising what he deserves,” Alcaraz said.
Not everyone was convinced after Alcaraz split with long-time coach Juan Carlos Ferrero and started working with Lopez. Some experts doubted whether he could keep dominating the tour this year. But after Melbourne, it looks like Alcaraz isn’t going anywhere. Even without Ferrero, he’s still leading the pack.
With three more Grand Slams coming up this season, it’s shaping up to be a wild ride. You get the feeling that we’ll be watching Alcaraz and Sinner battling for the biggest prizes all year long.
