Daniil Medvedev appears to have returned to his best form as he ended Novak Djokovic’s undefeated 15-0 start to the season with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over the World 
No. 1 on Friday. 


After briefly dropping outside the top 10 for the first time since July 2019, Medvedev has stormed back into that elite ranking bracket, winning his last 13 matches—within an 18-day period—to set up an all-Russian Dubai final against defending champion Andrey Rublev. 


Medvedev had lost his last four meetings with Djokovic, who was on a 20-match win streak stretching back to last year’s ATP Finals, coming into the contest. The 27-year-old is looking to win a third title in as many weeks, having picked up trophies in Rotterdam and Doha in the build-up to Dubai. “Every time I beat Novak is an amazing feeling. He’s probably the greatest tennis player of all time,” said Medvedev.
