Djokovic continues to add new chapters to a remarkable career. At 38, he remains focused on singles but enters the mixed doubles draw with Olga Danilovic. Djokovic’s season already includes a 100th singles title in Geneva and a milestone 100 Wimbledon main-draw wins, underlining his consistency and resilience. Danilovic, who recently reached a career-high No. 32 and collected a WTA 125 trophy in Antalya, brings her left-handed power and steady improvement. Their partnership has the blend of experience and momentum.

Across the net, Andreeva has quickly become one of the most talked-about young players on tour. Still a teenager, she has climbed into the WTA top five this season, winning titles in Dubai and Indian Wells and a doubles title in Miami with Diana Shnaider. Her all-court game has already translated to big-stage success, including an Olympic silver medal last year.
Medvedev, known as a hard-court specialist, joins her after a season of mixed results highlighted by a Halle final and an Indian Wells semifinal. Though not always predictable, his ability to raise his level against top names makes this pairing especially interesting.

Novak Djokovic/Olga Danilovic and Mirra Andreeva/Daniil Medvedev do not have a head-to-head record yet.
| Djokovic/Danilovic | Category | Andreeva/Medvedev |

Andreeva and Medvedev may be underdogs, but the storyline is compelling. Andreeva is already proven on big stages and is paired with Medvedev’s unpredictability. If they find cohesion early, this partnership has the potential to unsettle the Djokovic/Danilovic rhythm. But the latter duo is the favorite, and if they falter, then only Andreeva and Medvedev have a chance.
