Rivalry Analysis
This is a matchup between two of the best returners and movers of their era, and most of it has been played on hard courts: 14 of their 16 meetings. Djokovic has generally had the edge in the longest matches, winning three of their four Grand Slam meetings, including the 2021 Australian Open final 7-5, 6-2, 6-2 and the 2023 US Open final 6-3, 7-6(5), 6-3.
Medvedev's best spell against him came between 2019 and 2021, when he won four of their eight meetings, among them the 2021 US Open final 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. The pair then did not meet for three years after the 2023 US Open final, until the 2026 China Open semi-final, which Djokovic led 7-5, 5-3 when Medvedev was defaulted for hitting a ball that struck a spectator.
