Daniil Sergeyevich Medvedev[a] (born 11 February 1996) is a Russian professional tennis player. He has been ranked as the world No. 1 in men's singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). Medvedev has won 20 ATP Tour-level singles titles, including the 2021 US Open and 2020 ATP Finals.

Medvedev made his ATP Tour main draw debut at the 2015 Kremlin Cup, and in 2017, he participated in a singles major for the first time at Wimbledon. In 2018, Medvedev won his first ATP Tour singles titles, and achieved a breakthrough in 2019, making his top 10 debut and reaching six consecutive tournament finals, including at the US Open. He won the ATP Finals in 2020, becoming the only player to defeat the top three ranked players in the world en route to the year-end championship title. In 2021, Medvedev contested two major finals against Novak Djokovic, winning at the US Open to claim his first major title and deny Djokovic the Grand Slam.

Shortly after reaching another Australian Open final in 2022, Medvedev became the first man after Andy Murray outside of the Big Three to attain the world No. 1 ranking since Andy Roddick in 2004, the third Russian man to do so after Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Marat Safin, and the 27th man overall. He then suffered with inconsistent form, dropping out of the top 10 multiple times whilst simultaneously reaching two more major finals and returning to the top 5.

## Early life

[edit]

Daniil Medvedev was born in Moscow to Sergey Medvedev and Olga Medvedeva. Daniil's father, a computer engineer, developed his own business of building materials sales, from the mid-1980s to the early 2010s.[4] Medvedev has two older sisters named Julia and Elena, 12 and 8 years his senior, respectively.

When Daniil was six years old, his mother noticed an advertisement for group tennis lessons at the pool where he was taking swimming lessons.[5] His father encouraged him to enroll. Medvedev's first tennis teacher was Ekaterina Kryuchkova, a former coach of professional tennis player Vera Zvonareva among others.[6][7] Daniil's other childhood activities besides sport included harpsichord and guitar lessons.[8][9]

Medvedev studied physics and maths at a specialized school before graduating early and enrolling in economics and commerce at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations. He later dropped out to focus on tennis.[9] He then switched to the Russian State University of Physical Education, Sport, Youth, and Tourism, where he received his diploma as coach.[10] With his family he moved to Antibes, France where he trained at the tennis academy.[11] His parents have been living in France as retirees since.[8]

## Personal life

[edit]

As a result of living mostly overseas after turning 18, Medvedev can speak French and English fluently, besides his native Russian.[12] He is a fan of FC Bayern Munich.[13]

Medvedev married his then–girlfriend Daria Chernyshkova,[14] a Moscow State University graduate and former juniors tennis player, in Moscow on 12 September 2018.[15][16] On 14 October 2022, they announced the birth of their daughter, Alisa.[17] On 7 January 2025, they announced the birth of their second daughter, Vika.[18] In September 2019, he credited his marriage for the improvement of his tennis results: "Before I made a proposal, I had been on the 65th place in the ranking, and then in ten months I've won two major tournaments and entered the top 10. We have significantly rebuilt our life, we work for each other. I earn [money], and Daria helps me to earn more".[19][20][21]

## Junior career

[edit]

Medvedev played his first junior match in July 2009 at the age of 13 at a grade 4 tournament in Estonia. In December 2010, he won his first junior title as a qualifier at just his third tournament.[citation needed]

At the 2013 Junior US Open, he went into the tournament seeded 10th and made the third round where he lost to Johan Tatlot.[citation needed]

Medvedev reached his career-high junior ranking of world No. 13 at the beginning of 2014 and went into the 2014 Junior Australian Open seeded 8th. He ended his junior career after a first round loss at 2014 Junior Wimbledon.[citation needed]

Medvedev was disqualified from the second round of the Savannah Challenger event (in Georgia, U.S.) for comments he made after the umpire ruled in favor of his opponent.[24] Medvedev thought he had won a break point against his opponent Donald Young's serve, but chair umpire Sandy French ruled that his returning shot had gone out. After that, Medvedev said Young and French were friends. As both parties are black, he was disqualified mid-match for allegedly 'question[ing] the impartiality of the umpire based on her race'.[25]

### 2017: First ATP final

Medvedev started his season at the 2025 Australian Open where he overcame wildcard Kasidit Samrej in five sets despite being two sets-to-one down. He was then defeated by 19-year-old Learner Tien in five sets, losing two of three tiebreak sets.[162]

He next participated in Rotterdam, beating Stan Wawrinka in three sets but losing in the second round to qualifier Mattia Bellucci.[163]

At the 2025 Qatar ExxonMobil Open, Medvedev reached the quarterfinals, recording his 300th hardcourt win over Zizou Bergs, the second man born in 1990 or later to reach that milestone, after Grigor Dimitrov.[164]

Medvedev then played in the first two Masters events of the year, the Indian Wells Open and Miami Open, losing to Holger Rune and Jaume Munar in the semifinals and second round, respectively. As he was not able to defend his last year's final and semifinal points, Medvedev dropped out of the Top 10 for the first time since 2023 to No. 11.

During the clay court season, Medvedev collected wins at the 2025 Monte-Carlo Masters over compatriot Karen Khachanov and Alexandre Muller, but lost in the third round to Alex de Minaur. He reached the quarterfinals at Madrid, losing to eventual champion Casper Ruud. He then lost in the fourth round to Lorenzo Musetti in Rome. However, perhaps the biggest shock was a first round loss to world No. 81 Cameron Norrie at the 2025 French Open.[165] Nonetheless, he returned to the top 10 at No. 9.

At the grass court season, Medvedev reached his first ATP final since the 2024 Indian Wells tournament, in Halle, losing to Alexander Bublik and denying him a new title in over 2 years.[166] At Wimbledon, Medvedev lost again in the first round of a Grand Slam, this time to Benjamin Bonzi. Having been unable to defend all of his semifinalist points last year, he dropped further in the rankings to No. 14.[167]

Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas have faced each other 14 times since 2018, with Medvedev leading the rivalry, 10–4. Medvedev won his first five matches against Tsitsipas, but Tsitsipas has won four of their last nine.[168]

They have a heated rivalry on-court, but their matches showcase antagonism between the two players on a personal level as well.

### Alexander Zverev

[edit]

Main article: Medvedev–Zverev rivalry

Medvedev and Zverev have faced each other 20 times with Medvedev leading the rivalry 13–7. Zverev won the first four matches of their rivalry, but Medvedev won eleven of the last thirteen of their encounters.[169]

### Jannik Sinner

[edit]

Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner have faced each other 15 times since 2020 with Sinner leading the rivalry 8–7. Medvedev won their first 6 matches including the 2023 Miami Open final but Sinner turned around the lopsided head to head in Beijing beating Medvedev for the first time. Since then Sinner has won 7 of their last 8 encounters including their most notable match at the 2024 Australian Open final which Sinner won to claim his first major title. Medvedev lost the final after leading 2 sets to love for the second time at the Australian Open, after the 2022 final against Rafael Nadal.

### Nadal and Djokovic

[edit]

Of his six major finals, Medvedev has twice faced Rafael Nadal (at the 2019 US Open and 2022 Australian Open) and thrice faced Novak Djokovic (at 2021 Australian Open, 2021 US Open, and 2023 US Open). His lone victory in major finals came at the 2021 US Open, where he defeated Djokovic in straight sets to win his first major title and deny Djokovic the Calendar Grand Slam. The following year, at the 2022 Australian Open, he was aiming to become the first man in the Open Era to win his second major title directly after the first, but lost to Nadal in an epic five-set match despite being two sets up.

Overall, Medvedev's head-to-head against the two all-time greats is 1–5 against Nadal, and 5–10 against Djokovic.

## Playing style

[edit]

Medvedev is a counterpuncher. Standing at 1.98 m (6 ft 6 in) tall, he has a very powerful first serve capable of reaching 148 mph (238 km/h). He hits long, flat groundstrokes, often wearing opponents down with lengthy baseline rallies. Medvedev's biggest weapon is his ability to play consistently. He has not thrived on power and spin but has been able to land the ball between the lines over and over again.[170]

Medvedev is also known for his strong return of serve. He tends to adopt a very deep position at the back of the court which allows him to hit full-swing groundstrokes rather than blocking the serve back into play.[171] He also possesses one of the best backhands on tour. His forehand is generally the weaker shot of the two. He is known for his very defensive play. Medvedev is a moderately strong competitor mentally, evident in his attitude on the court, playing style, and demeanor in big matches.[170] Initially possessing a short temper, Medvedev eventually learned to control himself and display a calm demeanor in important matches. According to Francisca Dauzet, the performance coach he has been working with since 2018, he has "monstrous mental potential" and is learning to control his impatience. He has at times been "unable to channel his outbursts", but Dauzet describes him as a quick learner who is "fast at catching things".[172]

Medvedev's preferred surface is hardcourt and he has been one of the best and most consistent players on the surface since he first broke through to the top 10 in 2019. He has shown to be highly antagonistic towards clay, where he struggles the most. Medvedev suffers on clay due to his style of playing flat strokes and the fact that his movement, one of his biggest strengths on a hardcourt, is hampered. Medvedev himself said that he dislikes clay because it makes surrounding areas dirty. In 2021, during a match against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Medvedev said, "I don't want to play here on this surface!" and "This surface is for losers."[173] Over time, Medvedev managed to get more comfortable with clay and adjust to the surface. He has since achieved solid results on the surface including a Masters title at the 2023 Italian Open.

With his playing style, Novak Djokovic has described Medvedev as a very complete player and in October 2019 Alexander Zverev called him the best player in the world. 2019 ATP Finals champion, Stefanos Tsitsipas, once described his way of playing as "very boring"; but later said "he just plays extremely smart and outplays you".[174][175][176][177]

Medvedev has sometimes had an antagonistic relationship with crowds. At the 2021 US Open (which he won) and 2022 Australian Open, Medvedev was frequently booed and antagonized by the home crowd. At the 2023 US Open, Medvedev lashed out at the crowd, asking if they were "stupid" and asking them to "shut up."[178]

## Endorsements

[edit]

Medvedev endorses Lacoste for apparel and shoes, Tecnifibre for racquets, and Bovet for watches. He also has been employed as an ambassador by BMW, Tinkoff Bank, and HyperX for gaming accessories, mostly for the Russian-speaking world. He previously endorsed Lotto for apparel and shoes until 2019.[179][180] Since November 2021, he has been signed as a promoter of the Guojiao 1573 brand.[181]
