What is your favorite current tennis rivalry outside Fedal, Fedovic and Nadovic?

[Sport]

The title says it all. What is your favorite current tennis rivalry, excluding Fedal (Federer vs. Nadal), Fedovic (Federer vs. Djokovic) and Nadovic (Nadal vs. Djokovic)? By "current" I mean any recent rivalry that has been developed since 2017 onwards.

My favorite recent rivalry would be Thiem-Djokovic. Their matches are typically very close and competitive since 2017, in fact Thiem leads Novak 4-3 since 2017.

What is your favorite one?

Federer – Thiem is very enjoyable as of late.

Tsitsipas – Nadal as well.

Excellent choices!

For the fun of two players just disliking each other, I like Medvedev-Tsitsipas. Also Djokovic-Kyrgios, a shame they don't play more.

 

[BorgTheGOAT]

Djokovic - Stan

 

[James P]

Medovic

 

[Djokodalerer31]

Nadal-Thiem...

 

[Sport]

Djokovic - Stan

I meant from 2017 onwards, only current/recent rivalries. Wawrinka has only faced Novak once since 2017, that is no longer a current rivalry but a rivalry from the past.

 

[Jonesy]

Tsitvedev

 

[tennisaddict]

Nadal -Fognini and Djoker -Kyrgios

Does not matter wins or losses , no respect to Nadal and Djokovic there

OTOH , all of Fed’s opponents worship him

Thiem-Nadal by a mile.

It always adds at least a little spice to the clay court season, even if it's irrelevant at RG.

 

[chjtennis]

I like Djokovic v Wawrinka since 2013.

Djokovic - Stan

Beat me to it.

Beat me to it.

That rivalry is long time dead after the USO 2016. Since 2017, Wawrinka has only faced Djokovic once in 3 years and a half.

As long as they are both active on tour, you can't call it a dead rivalry. It just hasn't been an active one in recent times.

 

[King No1e]

Thiemovic or Thiemdal.
Medsipas is going to be a great one to watch in the future. I'm willing to bet Tsitsi reverses the H2H by the end of their careers.

That's such bullsheet

Thiem Vs Djokovic
Extremely high quality tennis. Pure ballbashing against defence + redirecting..

Thiemovic or Thiemdal.

emulations of 6'6" hewitt vs 6'4" fed??
Interesting

 

[Enceladus]

Djokovic-Kyrgios (hopefully this year they will meet again for Djoker to fix H2H)
Wawrinka-Raonic

 

[ibbi]

The genuine animosity between Medvedev and Tsitsipas is magic. It doesn't appear to be all that interesting a match up on the court, but considering how well the two of them have done at the highest levels of the game relative to their peers (I guess Zverev is sliding on in there now too) it definitely is lent a weight of legitimacy.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Slim pickings

 

[weakera]

Definitely Medvedev-Tsitsipas,

 

[OldschoolKIaus]

@vive le beau jeu ! vs. the Nadal

Intense, passionate and simply umbeleebbeble.

 

[CYGS]

Definitely Milkman vs. Cowerer. They are so equally talented that every slam match in the rivalry was so close that neither one winning would surprise anyone.

 

[Krish0608]

Djokovic-Med and Tsitsi-Med. There is a real edge to these two rivalries.
