He lost to the Spanish sensation Rafael Nadal in a nail-biting encounter. In the latter part of 2019, Medvedev made it to 6 finals in a row. He managed to end the season on a high, winning the first 2 titles after the US Open final. 

In 2020, there was not much tennis played due to the pandemic that brought the world to a complete standstill. He did manage to win at the Rolex Paris Masters beating two Top-10 ranked players.

With the last event of this season beginning on Sunday, Daniil would certainly like to sum it up with a title at the ATP World Tour Finals. For a title is the best way to cap 2020 off.
