With the US Open set to commence next week, players are busy making last-minute preparations for the last Grand Slam of the year. It is a busy time for players, and nerve-wracking for many. But despite the last-minute madness, a clip of Daniil Medvedev with his daughter is winning hearts online.
Medvedev has an adorable relationship with his baby Alisa. He had even dedicated his Wimbledon run to her earlier this year.
The Russian star was recently recorded sharing a lovely moment with his daughter Alisa. He can be seen cooing his goodbyes to her, and Alisa too responds in unintelligible baby language.
This adorable video clip is winning the hearts of tennis fans. Fans have taken to calling Daniil ‘Dadvedev’ since this clip gained traction on social media. A user commented, “Dadvedev seems like a great dad,” about Daniil.
Other users commented along the same vein, calling Medvedev a great father. Some fans also took this opportunity to express their wish to see him win another title.
Daniil got married to his girlfriend Daria in 2018 and had their first baby, Alisa, in 2022. Medvedev shares pictures of his family from time to time, much to the delight of fans who cannot get enough of them.
Medvedev is one of the top contenders for the US Open title this year. He will look to replicate the success of 2021 when he defeated Novak Djokovic to win the silverware.
Daniil Medvedev has sounded a warning for Novak Djokovic
Medvedev has promised to give Djokovic a hard time. The Russian player recently shared his view on the GOAT debate, ranking the Serb higher than Roger Federer.
However, this does not mean Daniil will go easy on him should they lock horns again. The last time both players clashed at Flushing Meadows, Medvedev defeated him in straight sets.
Djokovic was riding high from his success at the other three slams. But Medvedev was the barrier he could not overcome, and he failed to win a calendar slam in 2021.
Novak could not play at the US Open last year due to COVID-19 restrictions. This is his first time in New York City in two years, and he is raring to go after winning the title at the Cincinnati Open.
Medvedev elaborated that he always wants to play against Djokovic in every tournament. He feels his game is suited to giving Novak a hard time. It is something Daniil delights in since he considers Djokovic to be the greatest tennis player. “He’s still probably the greatest of all time. It’s great that I can give him a hard time,” he said (via Express UK).
In addition to the reigning champion, Carlos Alcaraz, both Novak and Medvedev are top contenders to walk away with the trophy. The US Open will commence on August 28th.
