Daniil Medvedev

Daniil Medvedev remains the toughest out in best-of-five matches thanks to his unorthodox biomechanics, elite return game, and 6'6" frame, which helped him reach 13 Grand Slam semifinals by 2025. He holds the best return points won percentage on tour at 42.1%, which is 3.2% higher than the average for the top 10 men. In 2025, Medvedev defeated Alexander Zverev in straight sets en route to the Australian Open quarterfinals, proving his style can neutralize even the most powerful servers.
