Daniil Medvedev Embraces Rivalry with Jannik Sinner Despite US Open Defeat

Posted : 05 September 2024

Daniil Medvedev expressed his enjoyment of the growing rivalry with world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, despite suffering a defeat in their US Open quarterfinal clash on Wednesday. Medvedev, who has faced Sinner four times this year alone, also lost to him in the Australian Open final and the Miami Masters semifinals, although he managed a victory over him in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.

 

Following his 6-2, 1-6, 6-1, 6-4 loss, Medvedev reflected on his recent matches with Sinner, acknowledging that while he was implementing the right strategies, he struggled to execute them effectively. The Russian, currently ranked No. 5 in the world, stated that such rivalries are beneficial as they drive him to improve. Despite the recent setbacks, Medvedev remains optimistic about learning from these encounters and aims to perform better in future matches.

 

Medvedev, who still holds a 7-6 lead in their head-to-head record, recognized Sinner's prowess and ranking as a top player. He praised Sinner’s ability to make precise shot selections and described playing against such a skilled opponent as both challenging and motivating. Medvedev’s appreciation for these tight, high-stakes matches underscores his competitive spirit and commitment to excellence.

 

Reflecting on his year, Medvedev considered his performances in the Australian Open final, the French Open fourth round, Wimbledon semifinals, and the US Open quarterfinals as a "quite good" Grand Slam season. Although his only major title remains the 2021 US Open, Medvedev is determined to close the gap with the current top players. He acknowledged the evolving competition, citing new stars like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, and remains focused on rigorous practice and improvement to stay competitive.
