The pair have met 11 times on the ATP Tour following their most recent meeting in the semi-final of the 2024 Miami Open – which Sinner won in comprehensive fashion, racing past Medvedev 6-1, 6-2 in just over an hour. Medvedev still leads 6-5 overall.
Daniil Medvedev dominated the rivalry in the initial stages, winning the first six matches, with three of those coming in straight sets. This included wins for the Russian in the finals in Rotterdam and Miami in 2023.
Since then, however, Sinner has flipped the tables, winning the last five on the trot against Medvedev.
Sinner got his first win over Medvedev in the Beijing final in October 2023 and then followed it up with a second win in a row in the Vienna final later the same month, before winning a third straight match against the Russian by beating him 6-3, 6-7 (4), 6-1 in the semi-finals of the 2023 ATP Finals.
Sinner’s fourth victory came in stunning style, with the pair meeting in the Australian Open final. Medvedev adopted an uncharacteristically attacking style of tennis, which very nearly led the Russian to his first victory over Sinner in four attempts. However, Sinner came back in the nick of time, defeating Medvedev 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 to claim his maiden Grand Slam title.
With Sinner’s most recent win in Miami, he has now won five matches in a row against Medvedev, improving to 5-6 in their head-to head.
