Daniil Medvedev’s run to the quarterfinals at the Paris Masters marks his fifth appearance in the last eight since the US Open, signaling a resurgence in form after a challenging summer. The Russian acknowledged the importance of this late-season consistency. “Of course great. Even in terms of ranking points,” he said. “If I had continued the way I played in the U.S. I probably would drop out of top 20.”
Avoiding early-round threats
Medvedev emphasized how maintaining a higher ranking helps avoid facing top-tier opponents in the early rounds of major tournaments. “Then it’s tougher because you can meet Sinner, Alcaraz, Zverev, Fritz, whoever in the early rounds,” he explained. His recent performances have helped him climb back toward the top 10, a position he values for both strategic and psychological reasons.
Momentum heading into 2026
Currently sitting around No. 12 or No. 13 in the ATP rankings, Medvedev remains focused on pushing higher. “I’m happy I’m playing well, going deep in the tournaments, climbing up the rankings,” he said. “If I can push a bit more, it would be great to climb even more.” With the ATP Finals approaching and a new season on the horizon, Medvedev’s form could set the stage for a strong 2026 campaign.
