Daniil Sergeyevich Medvedev (Russian: Даниил Сергеевич Медведев, IPA: [dənʲɪˈil sʲɪrˈɡʲe(j)ɪvʲɪtɕ mʲɪdˈvʲedʲɪf]; 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.[5][6] 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.[7]
Shortly after reaching another Australian Open final in 2022, Medvedev became the first man outside of the Big Four 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.[8] He then struggled with form and eventually dropped out of the top 10 in rankings,[9] but returned to form in early 2023 and has since reached two more major finals and returned to the top 5.[10][11]
