Chinanews client, Beijing, February 25th. As Djokovic lost to qualifier Veseli in Dubai, Russia's Medvedev will officially top the men's singles world next week, breaking the men's singles. The Big Four in the tennis world had a "monopoly" on the position for 18 years.
Data map: Medvedev in the game.
Medvedev became the first post-90s men's singles world number one, and the 27th men's singles world number one in history since the establishment of the ranking system in 1973.
