4 out of 4 against the Top 20: Medvedev regains form in Shanghai

With this new victory against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (6-3, 7-6), Daniil Medvedev is regaining his form. In Shanghai, he showed strength against a very serious opponent.

Thanks to this win, the Russian marks his fourth consecutive victory against a Top 20 player. Davidovich Fokina (twice: Beijing, Shanghai) and Zverev (twice: Halle, Beijing). A record that demonstrates resilience, for someone who had endured very difficult months until now.

For a spot in the quarterfinals, Medvedev will face Learner Tien, a 19-year-old American revelation in recent months. Already ranked in the top 50 (36th), the young left-hander has nothing to lose and could boldly take his chance.

If he overcomes the Tien obstacle, Medvedev could face a player full of confidence: Alex de Minaur.
