Daniil Medvedev vs Novak Djokovic: US Open 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Daniil Medvedev, a top-tier men’s tennis player, returned to his peak form after a challenging 2022 season that followed a demoralizing loss at the Australian Open. In early 2023, he reestablished himself in the top 5 of the ATP rankings. A significant highlight was his victory over world #1 Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open semifinals. Medvedev had been overshadowed by the Djokovic-Alcaraz rivalry earlier in the year, and he aimed to reclaim the spotlight. His consistent performance in hardcourt grand slams, including wins over Djokovic and nearly defeating Nadal in straight sets, underscores his prowess. Medvedev now competes in his fifth grand slam championship, a record for Russian players.

Novak Djokovic faced less challenging opponents than usual at this year’s US Open, encountering only one top-10 player on his journey to the final. He comfortably secured victories in most matches, with the exception of a challenge from Laslo Djere. While his opponent in the final, Daniil Medvedev, competes in his fifth Grand Slam championship, Djokovic is in his fourth final of the season. Djokovic, despite his prolonged dominance on hard courts, has struggled at the US Open, last winning in 2018 and accumulating six runner-up finishes. His 2021 outdoor hard court record stands at an impressive 26 wins and one loss, with that sole defeat to Medvedev in ATP Dubai.
