Daniil Medvedev, world number 3, has committed to participate in an ATP 250 tournament in Zhuhai. In 2019, the inaugural edition of the Zhuhai Championships took place. Due to the pandemic, the Zhuhai Championships were not held in subsequent years.
But with the return of the ATP calendar to China in 2023, the Zhuhai Championships are also set to host their second edition. Daniil Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, will shed light on this year’s Zhuhai player field.
“I can’t wait to come back to China and play at the Hengqin International Tennis Center. I can’t wait to discover the city and the stadium, of which I have heard a lot of good things. It will be great to play again in front of the Chinese fans after three years of absence.
I look forward to seeing you all in September,” Medvedev said in a statement.
Medvedev ready for the Madrid Masters this week.
This week, Medvedev participate in the Madrid Masters.
In Madrid, Medvedev is the second seed and has a first-round bye. He will then be opposed to Andrea Vavassori. Medvedev’s streak of five consecutive finals came to an end at the start of the clay-court season.
Between February and March, Medvedev reached five consecutive hard-court finals. In his first clay-court tournament of the year, at the Monte Carlo Masters, Medvedev reached the quarter-finals before Holger Rune handed him a 6-3 6-4 loss.
“It wasn’t easy, that’s for sure, it’s always difficult to play against Daniil. It was my first time playing against him in a real game, but we practiced tons of times.
I have a lot of respect for everything he has done. Last week it wasn’t easy to stop him, but I’m happy I managed to do that this week,” Rune said after beating Medvedev. It remains to be seen what Medvedev can do this week in Madrid .
