Daniil Medvedev had not started the season with good results, but his recent victory in the ATP Marseille could change his course. The 2021 champion had previously stated before his debut that he needs wins to gain confidence in order to win a title, something that has not happened since the 2023 Rome Masters 1000. Last year he was close, but perhaps luck was not on his side. 

The Russian started with good feelings in the French city after defeating the local Pierre-Hugues Herbert, precisely his opponent in the final four years ago at this same tournament. "It's curious that we've played five times on the Tour and three times in Marseille. It's where we always face each other, and I'm happy to have played at a good level. I didn't lose my service, and I'm happy to have won," he said after the victory. Now, in his first quarterfinals of the year, Medvedev will face Jan-Lennard Struff to try to chain wins and progress in a new attempt to find his best tennis.

In a press conference, the world number 8 talked about how he still sees himself with many opportunities to win another Grand Slam despite the current dominance of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Not only that, but he also believes in the possibilities of other players from his generation like Alexander Zverev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Casper Ruud, or Taylor Fritz. "We've seen many things in tennis history, so I don't think there are certainties. Sinner and Alcaraz, for now, seem to be winning many Grand Slams, that's for sure. How many each? We don't know.

Zverev was already in a final against Alcaraz, he could have won Roland Garros. Against Sinner at the Australian Open, it wasn't as easy concerning the score, but a match is always a match, and he could do it next time if given the chance. The same goes for Fritz; he was already in a final. Tsitsipas on all surfaces, but especially on clay. I believe he is always a big favorite at Roland Garros. Casper likewise at Roland Garros. I think all of them can win a Grand Slam, and so can I," said the Russian.

Will Sinner and Alcaraz win more Grand Slams than all of them?

"It's very possible, and they are on their way to doing so, but in tennis, you never know. Injuries... There are too many things that can happen. The most important thing for me, and for the others as well because they are great players, is that you keep going, play, fight, and you will have opportunities."
