Daniil Medvedev Seeking First Major
The 2020 tennis season was a mixed one for Daniil Medvedev. He started the year off very poorly but towards the end, he found some form and picked up the Paris Masters and the ATP Finals’ titles. Now, the Russian is looking to carry this form into the 2021 Australian Open.

In previous years, the Russian has not done too well in Melbourne as he only managed to reach the fourth round in 2019 and in 2020. This time, he will surely be looking to reach the latter stages of the event and possibly, win his first Grand Slam there.
This has been his goal for quite a long time and in 2019, he came very close to achieving it as he reached the final of the US Open. Now, with a few titles under his belt, the Russian will be feeling a lot more confident and he could very well be the 2021 Australian Open champion.
