Appeared in Tatler magazine alongside his James Bond-style wife Daria and amid unusual sets, Daniil Medvedev said he wanted “Give a different image of himself”.
A laudable intention for the one who is often caricatured like the Russian certainly worker but also rebellious and bad loser. However, it is not the testimony of his wife in the pages of the magazine that will attest to the contrary. A tasty anecdote.
Daria Medvedev remembers the first time she met Daniil. It was at a junior tournament in Antalya when they were both 12 years old. She was having dinner in a cafe with her team and other players. “Suddenly we hear someone screaming, crying, and the sound of a racket throwing. My mom asks what’s going on. Veronika Kudermetova’s father laughs: “It’s Medvedev playing. You don’t know him? We then went to watch him. It was something. Three and a half hours of a match, exchanges of 50 moves… Since his childhood, Daniil has always fought to the end, he was ready to do anything on the court, as ugly as his game may seem, to win. In this sense, it has not changed at all ”, declared a Daria already very admiring of the combativeness of her half.
