Medvedev Third Player To Qualify For 2023 Nitto ATP Finals

The 2020 champion joins Alcaraz and Djokovic in Turin

Daniil Medvedev on Monday became the third player to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals, which will be held in Turin from 12-19 November. The 27-year-old joins Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic at the season finale.

Medvedev will compete in the year-end championships for the fifth consecutive year after defeating Alex de Minaur to make the US Open quarter-finals. He won the Nitto ATP Finals in 2020 and reached the final in 2021.

The five-time qualifier has earned his place at the Pala Alpitour with a consistent season during which he has lifted five ATP Tour trophies, including two ATP Masters 1000 triumphs.

From the start of Rotterdam in February, Medvedev won 26 of 27 matches. He earned crowns in Rotterdam, Doha and Dubai. After losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the Indian Wells final, he emerged victorious in Miami.

The 27-year-old also enjoyed a breakthrough on clay. Medvedev went 10-3 on the surface and claimed his first title in Rome, where he lost just one set en route to the trophy.

According to Infosys ATP Stats, the former World No. 1 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings has won 53 matches this year, second on the ATP Tour behind only Alcaraz. It is the third time he has earned at least 50 tour-level victories in a season (2019, 2021).

Medvedev owns a 9-7 record at the Nitto ATP Finals.
