Is Medvedev back? Reviewing Dubai, Acapulco, Santiago, Austin and Monterrey tournaments
We have not changed our opinion: we are still skeptical that Daniil Medvedev can reclaim World No.1

Show Notes
Daniil Medvedev seems to have found a lot of confidence in his game: with great wins under his belt now, including Novak Djokovic, Felis Auger-Aliassime, and Andrey Rublev, he is truly back to the Top 10 and will remain there. But can he win more Grand Slams? Can he become World No.1 again? We still need to watch more for that...
On other news, Alex de Minaur wins the battle of tough conditions in Acapulco, where it seems only he was able to master the humidity. Nico Jarry made the most of his comeback by winning the title in his hometown of Santiago, Chile, while Donna Vekic defeated Carolina Garcia for the title in Monterrey in her own comeback story, and young Ukrainian talent Marta Kostyuk finally claimed her first WTA title in Austin - and coincidentally over a Russian player, Varvara Gracheva, with whom she did not shake hands at the net, in a pre-match agreement from both players likely initiated by the Ukrainian. Kostyuk has been vocal about the war and her views on Russian and Belarussian players since the beginning, so it was an expected, but still impactful gesture.
