Until a few days ago, Nuno Borges was not much known in the tennis world. However, his performances at the ongoing Australian Open [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/australian-open-2/] have changed this scenario. Borges is having a giant-killing run Down Under, as he has entered the fourth round of the tournament. He has won over stars like Grigor Dimitrov [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/grigor-dimitrov/] and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. As he continues his winning spree, let’s dig deeper into this Portuguese player’s relationship with America. The 26-year-old has been on the tour for a long time but didn’t have many credible performances until now. He made a big move early on in his career that is bearing fruits now. NUNO BORGES MADE THE MOVE TO AMERICA Borges, born in 1997, is of Portuguese origin. While he started his playing career in his native country, he soon made the switch to the United States when he was 16. Borges played collegiate tennis for Mississippi State University from 2015 to 2019. It was a turning point in his career as he made the move to America to obtain better facilities and opportunities. The Portuguese star excelled at the college level and ended up as the NCAA singles runner-up in 2019. Additionally, he won a host of other awards, like the ITA National Player of the Year in 2019, SEC Player of the Year in 2017, 2108, and 2019. Borges is the top-ranked Portuguese men’s singles player. Although he has a long way to go, it is a step in the right direction for Borges at the Australian Open. Further, he admitted why he doesn’t like to accept defeats. DIVE DEEPER: Amid Raging Criticism for Reignited Ben Shelton Feud, Novak Djokovic’s Heartwarming Tale of Kindness Narrated by Rival [https://www.essentiallysports.com/atp-tennis-news-amid-raging-criticism-for-reignited-ben-shelton-feud-novak-djokovic-heartwarming-tale-of-kindness-narrated-by-rival/] Talking about it, Borges said [https://www.atptour.com/en/news/borges-australian-open-2024-feature], “I was really just an average kid until I was 16, playing tennis, doing it for fun. I was always very competitive. I still do have a problem with accepting losses, and losing in card games or video games. Oh, it pisses me off so much. Tennis was my path of always being able to compete, which I love. I love winning…” Borges will face Russia’s Daniil Medvedev [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-medvedev/] in the fourth round tomorrow. Although he is not American, he will have both the Portuguese and the American fans cheering for him due to his Mississippi connection. Watch Story: Iconic WTA Coach Reveals Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic’s Similarity That Makes Them Mentally Strong [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/wta-tennis-news-premier-wta-coach-thinks-serena-williams-and-novak-djokovic-have-a-similar-quality-that-brings-them-mental-strength/] 

As Nuno Borges springs a surprise at the 2024 Australian Open, an interesting Mississippi Connection pops up.

Being a die-hard fan of tennis and an ardent follower of Rafael Nadal, tennis
has been a part of my life even before I ventured into sports journalism. If I
have learned anything from the incredible career of the ?King of Clay?, it is to
constantly enhance your skill sets, no matter at what stage you are in your
career. This motivated me to complete an Executive Post Graduate Diploma in
Sports Management while pursuing my career as a sports writer. At ES, I have
written over 1600 articles, covering a wide range of topics: From on-court
controversies to the personal exploits of the biggest tennis stars. Moreover, I
particularly enjoy covering Grand Slams, where the best of the best battle it
out for the biggest honors in tennis. Beyond covering tennis for ES, I am
interested in reading about current affairs and traveling to exotic locations
around the world.

<h2><strong>Australian Open: Latest News, Results and Records</strong></h2>
The Australian Open is the youngest of all the Grand Slams, having first started in 1905.

The tournament holds the record for the highest attendance at a Grand Slam event, where 743,667 people attended during the 2018 edition of the Australian Open. It also has the honor of being the first Grand Slam tournament to feature indoor play during wet weather or extreme heat.

There are three main courts, the Rod Laver Arena, the Melbourne Arena and the Margaret Court Arena. Aside from that, they have courts 7 to 15 and even court 19 and 20. The tournament first became open to all from 1969 onwards, a year after the remaining 3 did so.

The Australian Open is the first Grand Slam of the tennis season. It is played on hard courts at the Melbourne Park in the city of Melbourne. The tournament was founded in 1905, and until 1987, it was played on grass.

In 2023, Novak Djokovic won the Australian Open men's singles final, and in the process, extended his record as the player with the most Australian Open singles titles (10). On the women's side, the singles final went Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka's way, making it her first Grand Slam.

2024 is set to be yet another stellar year in the history of the Australian Open. All eyes will be on the tournament from January 14, more so because of the participation of multiple high-profile comebacks. On the men's side, Rafael Nadal is all geared up to return to action after almost a year of missing competitive tennis. On the women's side, Naomi Osaka should light up the Melbourne Park with her aggressive style of play

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Daniil Medvedev: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, wife and more</b></h2>
Daniil Medvedev idolized his countryman Marat Safin while growing up, but his stellar feats will even force the 2-time grand slam champion to stand up and applaud the 28-year-old's exploits on the tennis court. In an era dominated by <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic/">Novak Djokovic</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal/">Rafael Nadal</a>, Daniil Medvedev has been the shining star outside these two big champions. Between 2019 and 2024, Daniil has made it to six grand slam finals, multiple ATP finals, and Davis Cup finals as well. This has helped Daniil to not just raise his stature as a tennis player but also pocket a whopping $39 million as prize money, to go with a net worth of $25 million.

[caption id="attachment_1522992" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1522992 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1016669222h.jpg" alt="Daniil Medvedev" width="1920" height="1280" /> Tennis: US Open, Sep 12, 2021 Flushing, NY, USA Daniil Medvedev of Russia celebrates with the championship trophy after his match against Novak Djokovic of Serbia not pictured in the men s singles final on day fourteen of the 2021 U.S. Open tennis tournament at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

He likes playing mind games with his opponents and picking a fight with the chair umpire, and at times he isn't a crowd favorite. However, his tennis feats have helped him achieve being a grand slam champion already and also attain a former world number one ranking.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Daniil Medvedev? </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Born on February 11, 1996, Daniil Sergeyevich Medvedev is a professional tennis player from Moscow, Russia. Medvedev is currently ranked 4th in the men’s ATP rankings but was a former world number 1 in February 2022. He has won 20 ATP men’s singles titles, which also include the 2020 ATP Finals and the 2021 US Open title in New York, where he defeated Novak Djokovic in the final. He is also a three-time runner-up at the Australian Open in Melbourne. He idolizes former Russian player Marat Safin, who was also a two-time major champion. On a personal level, Medvedev is married to Daria Chernyshkova and has a daughter, Alisa, born on October 14, 2022.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Daniil Medvedev’s early life </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Daniil Medvedev took to tennis when he was just six years old, when his father, Sergey Medvedev, a computer engineer by profession, enrolled him in tennis lessons under Ekaterina Kyruchkova, a former coach to ex-world number two Vera Zvonareva. Medvedev also had a keen interest in the harpsichord and playing guitar in his childhood. He later moved to France with his family to focus on tennis and is fluent in French, English, and Russian.</span>

[caption id="attachment_1251724" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1251724 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-10-08T142732Z_602179916_UP1EIA8145UF7_RTRMADP_3_TENNIS-ASTANA.jpg" alt="Daniil Medvedev" width="1920" height="1322" /> Tennis - ATP 500 - Astana Open - National Tennis Center, Astana, Kazakhstan - October 8, 2022 Russia's Daniil Medvedev reacts during his semi final match against Serbia's Novak Djokovic REUTERS/Pavel Mikheyev[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">It took Daniil another seven years to play his first junior match at a grade four tournament in Estonia in 2009. He was an unpolished product then, but between October 2012 and July 2013, Daniil set the junior circuit on fire by winning six titles, including four straight ones. A year later, he turned professional and ended his junior career with a record of 109-43 wins.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Daniil Medvedev’s wife and children</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Daniil Medvedev is married to Daria Chernyshkova, whom he first started dating in 2014, and the two tied the knot four years later in a private intimate ceremony in September 2018. In 2022, the couple welcomed their first daughter, Alisa.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Daria, too, is a retired former junior tennis player and first met Daniil when they were teenagers. Daria eventually left the sport when she was 18 after suffering multiple injuries. In September 2019, Daniil credited his marriage for the improvement in his tennis results. Within 10 months of proposing Daria, Daniil won two major tournaments and entered the top 10. Daria also works as Daniil’s assistant, helps him procure travel visas, and constantly travels with her husband to all the major tournaments around the world.  </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Daniil Medvedev’s net worth 2024</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Outside the Big 3, Daniil Medvedev has been a consistent performer at the ATP circuit in the last decade or so. With 20 career titles under his belt, Daniil has managed to bag an impressive net worth as well. As of March 2024, Medvedev has an estimated net worth of $25 million. He has received a prize money of $39,301,567 in his tennis career so far. Daniil is one of those eight players to have earned a prize money over $39 million. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Daniil Medvedev is well-settled in Monte Carlo, Monaco, and is a proud owner of BMW X6M.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Daniil Medvedev’s career </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Daniil turned professional in 2014, and in the last decade has tasted both the highs and the lows. The highs have come in the form of being an ATP Finals champion in 2020 when he defeated Austrian <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dominic-thiem/">Dominic Thiem</a> in a 3-set match to win the Year-end finals for the first time in his career. A year later, things went from good to great, when he won his only grand slam to date in New York. Daniil defeated world number one Novak Djokovic in straight sets to lift the 2021 US Open in New York. The win also denied Novak of a calendar slam. The Russian played non-stop tennis in 2021 which ended on a high note as he helped team Russia win the Davis Cup Finals.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Along the way, there have been heartbreaks as well. The Russian has made it to six Grand Slam Finals in his career - three apiece at the Australian Open and at the US Open and has managed to win just one. He lost five of those finals to Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, and the remaining one to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jannik-sinner/">Jannik Sinner</a> at the 2024 Australian Open.</span>

[caption id="attachment_913334" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-913334 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-01-30T152118Z_591588629_UP1EI1U14TVNC_RTRMADP_3_TENNIS-AUSOPEN.jpg" alt="Rafael Nadal and Daniil Medvedev" width="1920" height="1358" /> Tennis - Australian Open - Men's Singles Final - Melbourne Park, Melbourne, Australia - January 31, 2022 Spain's Rafael Nadal and Russia's Daniil Medvedev celebrate with trophies after the final REUTERS/Morgan Sette[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">Apart from the grandslams and ATP Finals, Daniil has lifted six ATP Tour Masters 1000 titles in his glorious career and lost three. Overall, Daniil has won 20 ATP titles in his career so far.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">It was in the 2015 Kremlin Cup when he made his ATP debut in a doubles match, partnering Aslan Karatsev. He made his ATP Singles main draw debut at the 2016 Nice Open in France but lost to Argentine Guido Pella in the first round. His maiden ATP singles final came at the 2017 Chennai Open in India, where he lost to Roberto Bautista Agut in two sets. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">It was at the 2017 Wimbledon that Daniil registered his maiden Grand Slam match win against Switzerland’s Stanislas Wawrinka. That was the start of big things to come, as he won his maiden ATP title at the Sydney International at the start of 2018. Since then, Daniil hasn’t looked back.</span>

Medvedev also won most of his titles in hard court tournaments with 18 titles already to his name.

Medvedev had a dream run at the summer hard court season in the USA in 2019. He reached six consecutive tournament finals, including one at the US Open and three at Masters 1000 events. In the year 2022, he managed to make his second successive finals appearance at the Australian Open. Though, he was defeated by Rafael Nadal in a 5-set thriller. Later at the Vienna Open, he defeated Karen Khachanov to win his second ATP 500 title.

In 2023, Medvedev managed to win three titles - the Rotterdam Open, Qatar, and Dubai Open within a space of three weeks at the start of the year. However, he ran out of luck at the Majors, losing in the 3rd round of the Australian Open and facing humiliation in Paris, by losing in the opening round. However, he did produce his best tennis on grass, by reaching the semifinal at the Wimbledon, and one more final at the US Open, losing to his old nemesis, Novak Djokovic.

The start of the year 2024 was a great one for Daniil, as he reached the final of the Australian Open for the third time in his career. This time, he was the favorite against Italian Jannik Sinner, but lost the final in five sets, and thus became the only player in the open era to lose two major finals after taking a 2-0 lead.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Daniil Medvedev’s partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">With consistent success on the tennis court, Daniil has plenty of big brands and endorsements against his name. The Russian is a brand ambassador of luxury car brand BMW in Russia. Lacoste is Medvedev’s apparel sponsor, while Tecnifibre provides him racquets. Daniil has a keen interest in gaming and also enjoys an endorsement deal from HyperX. The Russian grand slam winner also has endorsements with Bovet Tinkoff. </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Daniil Medvedev’s records</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Daniil Medvedev can call himself a touch unlucky, after losing five out of the six Grand Slam finals in his career, but at the same time, he has been able to etch his name in record books for some positive results as well.</span>
