MIAMI : Daniil Medvedev begins his Miami Open campaign on Friday but the Russian will struggle to generate the kind of interest usually reserved for a defending champion as fans focus their attention on the budding rivalry between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

"I'm trying to catch them here and there," Medvedev said at a press conference on Thursday."But for me it's always a good challenge when we have these young guys coming up, it makes you only better. If anything has held Medvedev back it is his inability to deliver consistently at the biggest moments, losing twice in Grand Slam finals to Nadal and twice more to Djokovic, who is not competing in the Miami Open.Winning the first two sets against Sinner in the Australian Open final, Medvedev crumbled and lost the next three as the Italian claimed his first Grand Slam crown.
