Medvedev's Forgetful 2025

The Russian former World No. 1 has had a year to forget. He would not like to look back at the season gone by for him. He would like to look ahead and hope for a better 2026.

He suffered a second-round exit in the Australian Open. That was followed by first-round losses in Roland Garros and Wimbledon. It is a big win for Bonzi, who would now have the confidence heading into his second round match. Bonzi will play his second round match on August 27 against Marcus Giron of the US. Giron beat Mariano Navone in a five-set battle. Interesting to see how far can Bonzi progress.
