Feels great to rise in rankings: World No. 2 Daniil Medvedev

His 6-4, 6-7, 6-4 victory against Pierre-Hugues Herbert made him just the fifth player to occupy the number two spot in the 16 years since July 2005. “I am really happy. I knew that I would become No. 2 no matter what on Monday,” said Medvedev, the runner-up to Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open final last month.
