Novak heaping praise on 'very complete' Daniil

SHANGHAI - Having lost to Daniil Medvedev in their past two matches, world No 1 Novak Djokovic on Tuesday hailed the young Russian as a "very complete player."

The 23-year-old Medvedev is at a career-high No 4 and reached the final at the US Open, where he lost to Rafael Nadal in five sets.

Medvedev has captured three titles this year, including beating Djokovic en route to claiming victory at the Cincinnati Masters in August.
