Matchup between two players that have seemingly had poor seasons, by their standards, but are both playing pretty well post-USO, regaining some form. The matchup h2h is 3-2 for Medvedev, all of it on hard court. Medvedev has won the last three matchups between the two (including two indoor...
ATP H2H: 6-4 for Djokovic
HC H2H: 5-3 for Djokovic
Their first match against each other this season. The last time they met was last year in the Paris Masters final, Djoker won in three sets. Who will win now?
Has Ruud surpassed the following Next Gen players in your view of the current pecking order?
Medvedev?
Zverev?
Tsitsipas?
Berrettini?
Rublev?
Pick all players you honestly think Ruud has surpassed.
Carlos Alcaraz and Stefanos Tsitsipas have officially qualified for the ATP Finals. They join Rafael Nadal (officially) and Novak Djokovic (unofficially). That leaves four more spots remaining. In theory Medvedev and Ruud could both qualify by meeting in the US Open final, both needing a minimum...
... for the taking at 2022 US Open, six players with a real shot at #1. Incredibly close, Nadal definitely in the driver seat, though.

Welcome to the 10th edition of this modern classic between these two Little Three members, this time in the Cincinnati 2022 SF. Bulls. Russian leads the series 7-2 against the Small Kid who doesn't know how to fight.
Time TBC.
We all know that there's a Big Three, many argue that there was a Big Four, and some people consider that we currently have a Big Two.
But what about a Little Three? Or a Little Four? Or even a Little Two?
Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev have the highest quantity of Big Titles, highest W/L...
Shocking to me, but Carlos Alcaraz has now moved into 4th place, yes ahead of Nadal...

Daniil still the one defending points. Two matches away from a 2nd Major and World #1. Stefanos would be gunning for 2nd career Final, first Slam and move up to world #3.
Certainly playing less than half the time is some kind of edge for CITY BUS!!!!!

Is Medvedev already the best male Russian tennis player of all time? If not, whom is better than him still (I picked the obvious three: Kafelnikov, Safin, and Davydenko), and what does he need to do in his career to pass them? I'm not sure, myself, how people feel he stacks up to those three.
Their first meeting after the 2021 USO Final.

Zverev has been The Mighty One for a few weeks.
Now it's different.
Medvedev is hailed as The Man Who Stopped Djokovic.
Did Medvedev spoil Zverev party?
What do you think?
Daniil Medvedev wins the US Open
Here's an analysis of Medvedev's denial of Novak Djokovic's Calendar Slam bid in the US Open final including a dive into how their previous meetings primed them for this match.

Who do you think are the best players born after Novak and Andy? Multiple choice, up to three picks...
You can interpret this in any way you want, best career to date or most likely to have best career, or whichever way you choose to interpret it.
Goffin, PCB, RBA, and Berrettini would have...
Daniil Medvedev becomes the third 1,98m (6' 6'') player who wins a Grand Slam tournament, Juan Martín del Potro in 2009 and Marin Cilic in 2014 also won the US Open.
Can Daniil break the 1,98m curse and win another major? Discuss.
Djokovic is just one match away from the CYGS.
Third Grand Slam final for Medvedev (after USO 19 and AO 21), still seeking for his maiden GS title.

This thread came a little earlier than expected with Carlos's sudden retirement lol...
H2H is 1-0 to Daniil, coming through a 3rd set TB in Canada back in 2018. Who makes the final?
High flying Botic Van de...van de...the Dutchman versus Daniil "Mad Lad" Medvedev for the opportunity to reach the SFs of the US Open. Not sure if this one will disappoint or provide some entertainment. Who do you got in this one??
