Medvedev Earns Fourth Consecutive Nitto ATP Finals Qualification

Two places remain at the season finale

Daniil Medvedev will compete in the Nitto ATP Finals for the fourth consecutive year.

The 26-year-old is the sixth player to earn his spot in Turin, joining Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Novak Djokovic. The season finale will be played at the Pala Alpitour from 13-20 November.

Medvedev will try to claim his second title at the year-end championships after lifting the trophy in 2020. The 2021 finalist owns a 9-4 record at the prestigious event.

Medvedev lifted his 14th tour-level title this season in Los Cabos. He also reached his second consecutive final at the Australian Open and advanced to the championship match at ‘s-Hertogenbosch and Halle.

On 28 February, Medvedev climbed to No. 1 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings for the first time. At 6’6”, he became the tallest World No. 1 in history and the first player outside the Big Four of Nadal, Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray to hold top spot since Andy Roddick in February 2004.
