Medvedev clinches first tournament win of 2022 season

The Russian world number one beat Cameron Norrie in the final at the Los Cabos Open

Men's world tennis number one Daniil Medvedev lifted his first title of the 2022 season in Mexico on Saturday night when beating the Los Cabos Open's defending champion Cameron Norrie.

As seen in the semi-final against Miomir Kecmanovic on Friday, the Russian endured a tough first set won 7-5 before demolishing his British foe 6-0 in the second to clinch his 14th ATP tour-level trophy. 

By reaching the final, Medvedev already knew that he would hold on to the number one ranking spot until at least the end of the US Open where he is the reigning king.

Coincidentally, the triumph over Norrie spelled his first tournament win since Flushing Meadows, where he saw off all-time great Novak Djokovic, and the 26-year-old was in good spirits post match after concluding a competition where he didn't drop a single set.
