The Russian started the season showing why he became the world No. He is already 1, the tallest in history (1.98 m), and why he has Grand Slam (US Open’2021) and a Masters (2020). When his tennis is at that level, obviously, he can beat anyone, as he showed in the semifinals beating the current leader of the ranking, Novak Djokovic.

Djokovic himself, in the Adelaide semifinals, and the American Sebastian Kordain the 3rd round of the Australian Open, is the only rival to beat the Russian tennis player this year, whose apparent recovery adds more spice to a very interesting season between the real contenders for the ‘big’ titles and the fight for the No. 1, including Spanish Carlos Alcaraznow second in the standings.

In fact, in this 14-game winning streak, he has only lost three sets, against the Spaniard.
