Andrey Rublev has opened up on the early stages of Daniil Medvedev's career after the 26-year-old earned the world No 1 ranking. Medvedev will take the top spot of the rankings for the first time on Monday after Novak Djokovic's Dubai quarter-final loss. World No 7 Rublev said his long-time friend and compatriot always had "weird shots" which eventually helped him reach the top of tennis.

Medvedev will end an 18-year reign at the top of tennis for the Big Four on Monday.

The Russian will be the first world No 1 not named Djokovic, Federer, Nadal or Murray since February 1 2004 after an incredible past 12 months which has seen him win four titles, including the US Open.

He is the first player of his generation to win a Grand Slam and will now be the first to clinch the top spot of the rankings.
