When Daniil Medvedev came so close of winning the US Open 2019 title

In the finals against Rafa, even after losing the first two sets, the Russian gave a pretty tough fight to the Spaniard. He won the next two sets after working really hard, but eventually lost the final set. Unlike the Australian Open 2021 finals against Novak Djokovic, he came so close to winning in New York, but failed to finish on the winning side.
After accomplishing the US Open 2021 title, Daniil Medvedev is likely to play at the Indian Wells Masters 2021. Fans have huge expectations from him and want him to keep playing with the same form and momentum. Will he be able to end the year as the World No.1 player?
