I have interest in Medvedev vs Donskoy and Coric vs Fucsovics match.
Coric vs Fucsovics is underway, and first set is very possible for Fucsovics. If so that then job for Coric will be a bit hard, lost any of the sent after that means he is out.
Considering Medvedev's recent form, he should easily win against Donskoy. Starting in few hours.
Edit:
Well Fucsovics got the first set 77 - 65.
Come back time for Coric

Match of the day: (1) Medvedev vs Donskoy - I think Medvedev will win this one easily
(2) Khachanov vs Sousa
(3) Berrettini vs Baena
(4) Coric vs Fucsovics
I'm not seeing any upset here. Probably those top seed will go to the next round, might encounter some hard fought sets, but in the end, they can go and steam roll their opponents here.

I agree as its an all Russian match up which will be interesting. Medvedev should get the win but we just never know in these tournaments as the top players sometimes have a hard time winning against lower ranked players. Rublev should also win his match against Berankis, we could see an all Russian final at this tournament if it plays out that way.

I was looking if Medvedev is going to enter this tournament
Good to know. I see Tipsarevic (but he left the match so he is no longer) and Coric B is there. Medvedev should win this tournament. If I am not missing then he has the highest rank among all the participants.Yes, he is rank number 1 in this tournament., but as far I can remember this tournament is part of the ATP 250 masters, meaning if Medvedev won, another 250 points for him in the race to reach Federer.
@Indymoney - yes, anything can still happen, we have Rublev and Berrettini plus former champ Kukushkin in the tournament as well.

LOL, those where the golden years in the last 90's and early 2000's.. Martina Hingis spend 200++ weeks as number one women's player.You can add to this list, Kim Clijster, Lindsay Davenport. But now, it's totally different, we have like different winners every tournament. LOL.
So true. I used to be a school kid at that time, 9th/10th grad if I am not wrong. Always he picture in the newspaper. I learnt her name from seeing he consistence presence in newspaper and then I got interest in Tennis, I recognized her and what she has done for the women tennis.LOL, those where the golden years in the last 90's and early 2000's..

Same here mate, used to read about Martina and heard from my uncles talking about how great she was and eventually follow every news about here.
The latest long hold success I think was Williams sisters? Serena if I am not wrong.
Correct, Serena is the more accomplished between the two. But when the Williams sisters burst into the tennis scene, both of them did play very good and it was exciting to see them play against each other.
I think St Petersburg Open has started, today so let's see who will win this year.
Yes St Petersburg Open has started and guess who is playing, Medvedev who had a bye the first round. He will have some competition as Matteo Berrettini and Andrey Rublev are playing in this tournament. Both these two players are coming off good performances in the US Open so it will be interesting to see how they all go.
Oh, thanks man. I was looking if Medvedev is going to enter this tournament so I guess we can say that he is chasing Federer before the end of the year.. Yeah, those 2 are going to be his challenger, or least has a change to win this year as they are really playing high level tennis as well.
Most of the top seeds had a bye in the first round. So probably in the next days, we will see who will remain in the bracket and the potential clash of the top seeds.

Yes, it was Serena who took over after Hingis retire. They have great battles in the past and I think they really hate each other. Venus on the other hand was just like an average player but during her prime he won tournaments as well if I'm not mistaken.
Right now the girls are very inconsistent, no one has dominated the field the why Martina Hingis does back in her days.

Women's tennis has been like this for years now which in my opinion is good to see a different range of players winning Grand Slams instead of the same players winning all the time like we see on the Men's side. I think the competition is a lot stronger in Women's tennis with a lot of young talent coming through and winning where as on the Men's side we see the potential the young talent have but can never win a Grand Slam title. I do see this changing in years to come once Federer and Nadal retire so we got a lot to look forward to in years to come in Men's tennis.
Yep, on the women's side it's very unpredictable.
There was a time for Hingis, Henin, Williams sister. They performed consistently.
These days I only know few faces: Bencic, Andreescu, Osaka and few more :-P

So it's really hard to bet on them and you could really lost along the way.
. Another case is Stephens Sloane, 2017 US Open winner, peaked at number 3, unfortunately we haven't heard about her since then and she was out of the top 10 this year. legendary

By the way, do you guys follow any specific Women Tennis player?
Not really, I am following several young and promising players like Osaka, Ostapenko and Andrescu, then some local talents like Martic and Vekic. With women it is much more a case of the current form without clear favorite to win tournament. They don't have consistency or untouchables like on the men side since the best days of Serena.

Just look at Osaka this year, last year she was the talk of the town specially after winning the US Open. Pushing herself to the top. Now she is down number three already.
1 Ashleigh Barty
2 Karolina Pliskova
3 Elina Svitolina
4 Naomi Osaka
5 Bianca Andreescu
6 Simona Halep
7 Petra Kvitova
8 Kiki Bertens
9 Serena Williams
10 Belinda Bencic

You can check out the remaining schedule here:
https://www.espn.com/tennis/schedule
We don't know what tournament Medvedev is going to enter.
But definitely there's a lot of room for him to play and be able to do catch up with Federer here.
Novak Djokovic
Rafael Nadal
Roger Federer
Dominic Thiem
But very recently Daniil Medvedev was added to the list.
Hope he continues and become one of the top contestant in Tennis ranking with Djokovic and Nadal (considering Federer will retire soon).
By the way, do you guys follow any specific Women Tennis player?
Well its going to be an interesting end to the tennis season this year as we got the top two fighting it for the number 1 rank and we could see Federer drop from number 3 to 4 if Medvedev is able to continue on with his top form and likely Federer won't play in as many tournaments as Medvedev. I do think Nadal will take the number 1 rank from Djokovic as he has injury concerns and his form has dropped off recently.
What is the remaining competition in the calendar year?
I asked because maybe we can look at it today and see the possibly tournaments that Medvedev can enter and win so that he can at least topple Federer at the #3 spot?
