Although he is no longer at the top of the tennis scene, Daniil Medvedev continues to attract attention.
The Russian tennis player had a challenging season, but he seems to be getting back to form.
Although he was expected to dominate the Grand Slams, the Russian tennis player has not been at his best. Most people were not satisfied with his performance from tournament to tournament.
The 29-year-old raised the level of his game a little later in the season, and the victory at the Almaty Open was the best indicator that Medvedev does have quality and potential, but that it is necessary to remain focused and as motivated as he once was, when he was at the very top of the ATP rankings.

The Almaty Open showed the range of his talent and generated a lot of positive reactions, but Medvedev does not want to stop there.
The 29-year-old wants to put an end to criticism next season and finally make the breakthrough he's been waiting for.
Loud crowd
In an interview with Russian media, Danil Medvedev touched on a large number of topics, one of which was the loud crowd in tennis. The popular player drew a parallel between the Mariinsky Theater and tennis courts, believing that real tennis should be elegant, just like ballet.
Ultimately, Medvedev is not someone who only wants absolute peace on the tennis courts, but he believes that tennis is a very different sport from others and that it has certain standards that should be respected.
It is noticeable that in recent years the crowd reacts more strongly, but tennis players also have more intense reactions than before.
Most of the fans are not very enthusiastic about such an environment, but it only shows how popular tennis is and how much both the fans and the players enjoy it and want to give their best in order to win.
