Daniil Medvedev has had a remarkable 2023 season thus far, despite a rocky beginning. He experienced a setback when he was defeated in the third round of the Australian Open, causing him to drop out of the top 10 of the ATP rankings. However, he quickly bounced back and went on to win three consecutive titles in Rotterdam, Doha, and Dubai.

Following his defeat to Carlos Alcaraz in the Indian Wells final, the World No. 5 made a resounding comeback by clinching the Miami Open title and triumphing over Jannik Sinner in the final.

However, his impressive streak came to an end in the quarterfinals of the Monte-Carlo Masters on Friday, April 14, when he was defeated 6-3, 6-4 by Danish tennis player Holger Rune.

Meanwhile, Alexander Zverev is still in the process of regaining his form after a devastating ankle injury he sustained during the 2022 French Open. The German has managed to win only 10 out of 20 matches this season, with his most notable achievement being his semifinal appearance at the 2023 Dubai Tennis Championships.
