Medvedev Says Alcaraz and Sinner Rule Men’s Tennis Through Consistency

He attributes the gap to relentless consistency plus specific shotmaking.

Overview

  • Speaking to ABC, Daniil Medvedev said Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner win because they almost always play near their top level, while his own level swings more.
  • Sinner’s serve now holds up far better, according to Medvedev, and Alcaraz’s heavy forehand paired with sudden drop shots makes him hard to read.
  • Medvedev has improved this season with finals in Doha’s Qatar Open and at Indian Wells, which lifted him back into the ATP top 10.
  • Head-to-heads still favor the leaders: Alcaraz leads Medvedev 6–3 overall with Medvedev winning only once in their last five, and Sinner leads 9–7 after taking nine of their last 10 since 2023.
  • He also named Alexander Zverev as closest in consistency, as Sinner and Alcaraz continue to set the pace with runs like Sinner’s Monte Carlo title that extended his Masters 1000 streak to four.
