Full-time trainer of Daniil Medvedev since summer 2017, Gilles Cervara brought his colt to the roof of world tennis with a first Grand Slam coronation at theUS Open. A deserved coronation for the world No. 2 who is currently enjoying this triumph. But the French coach sees further for the future of his player with the place of world No. 1. If it will be difficult to dethrone Novak Djokovic This year, Cervara stated this goal as “legitimate“during an interview with Tennis Majors.
Gilles Cervara spoke about the celebration of Daniil Medvedev
“A possible victory from 2022 at Roland Garros? I say no. At Wimbledon, I say yes”
“As after his first trophy on the ATP circuit, his first Masters 1000 success: it’s a step. This step has greater scope, of course. With a Grand Slam, you almost come back to the Pantheon, even if it’s almost ridiculous compared to 20 Majors. But we have constantly focused on performance.Winning Grand Slams and being world No. 1, ce are legitimate objectives. The team has already started to think, because yes, he wins a Grand Slam, but we can see a lot of things to improve. To be number one and win other majors, you have to achieve concrete things, at work, every day. We will do them. Uvictory possible from 2022 at Roland-Garros? I say no. At Wimbledon, I say yes. The problem is not tennis, the stake on this clay, in his case at 80%, lies in the approach. I still cannot be sure that his problems in approaching the clay court are behind us.“
