The Canadian Open which is one of the biggest tournaments of the hard court season has finally began and there are some great players who are featuring in this contest who we all are looking forward to even today. There are plenty of great matches that are lined up for this event and we all are happy to see some of our favorite players perform in the ATP 1000 tournament.
The player who has not been having the best of seasons so far is Daniil Medvedev who has been struggling to win titles. The World number 5 was set to play his second round match against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina where it was looking like an easy win for the Russian number one player on paper. This was another opportunity for Medvedev to finally win a title where he was one of the favorites to win as well.
Medvedev disappoints once again
There is no doubt Medvedev is still one of the most talented players in this contest,but he also has to live up to his own standards as well. This match started with the Russian getting his first setback in the match losing the first set by a score of 6-4 and was put under pressure straight away. Though Medvedev still managed to make a comeback in the second set winning it by a score of 6-1, The Spaniard was not done over there as Fokina came back stronger in the last and final set winning 6 games to 2. This was no doubt another sad exit for the Russian once again.

The title drought for Daniil Medvedev continues further and this time it was in a tournament where he has enjoyed some great success as well. Losing to a unseeded player like Fokina will also not do any justice to his confidence and it is safe to say that the Russian has once again suffered a crucial defeat which will make him wait even longer to finally end his title drought this season.
