More on Daniil Medvedev Daniil Medvedev, born February 11, 1996, stands at 6.49 feet tall (1.98 m) and is a formidable counter puncher in tennis, renowned for his powerful first serve, clocking at 148 mph. His flat groundstrokes and strong return of serve wear opponents down in lengthy baseline rallies. With an exceptional ability to play consistently, he excels on hardcourts. Medvedev’s journey to success began with his ATP Tour debut in 2015 and saw significant breakthroughs, including his first ATP Tour singles titles in 2018. His rise continued with a top 10 debut in 2019, followed by a triumphant victory at the ATP Finals in 2020. His most significant achievement came with his 2021 US Open title, where he defeated Novak Djokovic to claim his first Grand Slam. Medvedev has won six ATP Masters 1000 titles, including the Miami Open (2023), and the 2020 ATP Finals. He has also reached five Grand Slam finals, with two at the Australian Open and the 2023 US Open. Known for his unique playing style and mental toughness, Medvedev remains one of the top contenders on the ATP Tour. Medvedev reached his career-high ATP ranking of World No. 1 on February 28, 2022. Off the court, he married Daria Chernyshkova in 2018 and has two children, whom he credits for contributing to his improved performance. Fluent in multiple languages, including French and English, his international upbringing adds depth to his persona. Medvedev is endorsed by Lacoste, Tecnifibre, Bovet, and others, further cementing his stature beyond the court.
