How many times have Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner played each other?
The pair have met 15 times on the ATP Tour following their most recent meeting in the group stage of the 2024 ATP Finals, where Sinner prevailed 6-3, 6-4. The Italian leads the head-to-head 8-7 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 eight of the next nine matches 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. Sinner was victorious again in the semi-finals of the 2024 Miami Open en route to the title, before Medvedev struck back to take a 7-5 lead when beating Sinner in the last eight at Wimbledon.
Their next two encounters went to Sinner, however, with a quarter-final win at the 2024 US Open for the Italian, before another victory for Sinner at the Shanghai Masters, with the world No 1 winning 6-1, 6-4. The Italian then won their most recent meeting at the 2024 ATP Finals to nudge into a 8-7 lead for the first time in their head-to-head.
The duo are scheduled to face each other in another quarter-final, this time at the 2024 Shanghai Masters.
