Coming to tennis, Medvedev and Raducanu won the US Open last season in the men’s and women’s singles, respectively. Both players played exceptionally well and knocked out some of the best players in the game. Due to their consistent performances, they lifted their first Grand Slam titles.
Speaking about the Russian, he was the only player who managed to knock out World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in a Grand Slam match last season. On the other hand, Raducanu appeared for the first time at the US Open and ended up winning the title, which is not a common experience for any player.
Both players were recently seen at the Australian Open 2022, unfortunately, Raducanu crashed out in the second round which came as a disappointment. On the other side, Daniil came to the final but fell short against Rafael Nadal. Well, we are still in the early days of the 2022 season and we wish all these amazing athletes the best of luck.
