Origin
and identity

Daniil Medvedev uses deep return positions, reach and unconventional patterns to make opponents question where a safe shot should go.

The Moscow-born player's methods can look unconventional, yet his ability to absorb pace and retrieve wide balls makes him a demanding hard-court opponent.

His straight-sets victory over Djokovic at the 2021 US Open ended the Serb's calendar Grand Slam bid. Reaching No. 1 in 2022 confirmed a sustained period of elite performance.
