Daniil Medvedev's underwhelming 2025 season, marked by a top-10 exit and near-miss at the top-20, seems to be a distant memory. A change in coaching staff, with Thomas Johansson replacing Gilles Cervara, appears to have revitalized the Russian star. His recent successes, including a title win at the Almaty ATP 250 and consecutive semifinal appearances in Beijing and Shanghai, propelled him to a year-end ranking of No. 13. Former tennis player Mansour Bahrami is confident that Medvedev will regain his top-10 status, citing his impressive past achievements, including a stint as world No. 1. Bahrami believes Medvedev's recent form is a sign of things to come: 'He's been a great player for the past 10 years, and I have no doubt he'll be back in the top 10.' Medvedev's 2025 struggles, however, were evident in his early exits from major tournaments. He lost to 19-year-old Learner Tien in the second round of the Australian Open and fell to Cameron Norrie in the first round of the French Open. His US Open campaign was marred by controversy, including a disputed match against Benjamin Bonzi, which was delayed due to a photographer's interference. Despite the setbacks, Medvedev's resurgence at the end of the year has sparked optimism about his future prospects.
