It sounds like a silly question. But in 2022, it’s clear that it has some value. How many matches can Nadal win in a row? When Rafa won his first ATP tournament in Melbourne in January 2022, it was a surprising good start to his return from injury. Little did we know that he would go on to win his first three tournaments of the year. Starting with Melbourne, he then, seemingly from out of nowhere, won the Australian Open and after that (last week at the time of writing), he won the Acapulco ATP 500! How many matches can …
Daniil Medvedev is the new world number one. Djokovic’s surprising loss to Vesely in Dubai has sealed the top spot for the Russian.

Rublev and Bautista Agut should come in with …
