Daniil Medvedev

Profile Overview

Daniil Sergeyevich Medvedev (born 11 February 1996) is a Russian professional tennis player. He was formerly ranked as the world No. 1 in men's singles by the ATP. Medvedev has won 23 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. In 2018, Medvedev won his first three ATP Tour singles titles. He had a breakthrough year in 2019, making his top 10 debut and reaching six consecutive tournament finals, including the US Open. In 2020 Medvedev won the ATP Finals, defeating the top three players in the world en route to the title. In 2021, he contested his second and third major finals, and won the US Open to claim his first major title and deny Novak Djokovic a Grand Slam. He also helped the Russian Davis Cup team secure victory in 2021.
In 2022, shortly after reaching a fourth major final at the Australian Open, Medvedev became ATP world No. 1 for the first time. He was the first man outside the Big Four to attain the No. 1 ranking in nearly 20 years, the third Russian man to do so after Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Marat Safin, and the 27th man overall. Medvedev reached a fifth and sixth major final, at the 2023 US Open and 2024 Australian Open, but suffered from inconsistent form, at times inside the top 5 and at times out of the top 10.
Medvedev won his first title on clay at the Italian Open in 2023. Following this title, Medvedev did not win another tournament for over two years. After a dire 2025 season in which he only won one match at the majors, he parted ways with longtime coach Gilles Cervara. He finally ended his title drought after 882 days at the 2025 Almaty Open, under the guidance of new coaches Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke. He has won two titles in 2026.
