Novak Djokovic vs Daniil Medvedev: Preview
On Thursday at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, Novak Djokovic successfully answered all the questions posed by fifth seed Hubert Hurkacz and defeated him 6-3, 7-5, securing a spot in the quarter-finals. In the upcoming last-four round, there will be an exciting match between Djokovic and former World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev, with the winner advancing to the final.
Djokovic won the first set 6-3 but encountered more resistance in the second set. However, he managed to break Hurkacz in the 11th game, and that ultimately helped him win his 15th match of the season. Earlier in the week, he needed a third-set tiebreak to beat qualifier Tomas Machac, but he had an easier time against Tallon Griekspoor, dropping only five games.
On center court, Hurkacz utilized every weapon in his arsenal to challenge Djokovic. He started strong by winning a point with a tweener and continued to pressure the Serbian by moving forward, hoping to disrupt the 35-year-old’s rhythm. Meanwhile, the current seventh-ranked player, Medvedev, is also on a winning streak. He has won his last 12 matches, including the Rotterdam and Doha titles in the preceding two weeks.
In his most recent matches, the 27-year-old defeated Matteo Arnaldi and Alexander Bublik, dropping only six games in each match, before facing and defeating Borna Coric in the quarter-finals. With this win, the Russian player’s record for the season is now 17-2.

Novak Djokovic vs Daniil Medvedev: Prediction
The upcoming match between Djokovic and Medvedev is akin to a final before the actual final. It is a highly anticipated matchup that would be fitting as the championship match itself. These two players are widely regarded as among the best in the sport today. They are both exceptional counterpunchers who rely on their baseline game and tend to produce their finest tennis on hard courts.
Djokovic and Medvedev have had some memorable encounters over the years, with the Serbian currently leading their head-to-head record 9-4. This match will probably be the toughest Djokovic will play this season, considering the form in which Medvedev is. However, Djokovic himself is on a 15-0 win-loss record this season.
