The Russian is already training with all his might before the tournament, which he won two years ago. We must repeat!
From August 28 to September 10, New York (USA) will host the US Open, the last major of the season. Almost all the experts point to Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaras, who staged a crazy final in Cincinnati last weekend, as big favorites. But Daniil Medvedev, the 2021 US Open winner, is considered a dark horse. Medvedev did not perform well at the North American Masters, where he, too, previously held titles. In Toronto, the Russian reached the quarterfinals, and in Cincinnati he was stopped completely in the third round. However, it does not seem that the most successful results have become a tangible blow to Daniel’s psychology, and this is very important.

At the end of the Cincinnati Masters, Medvedev met Andrei Rublev and Karen Khachanov, two other top Russian tennis players. Rublev was winless in both Toronto and Cincinnati, both times pulling out of contention in the second round, but Khachanov hasn’t entered the court since Wimbledon due to injury. They took a joint photo, in which, in addition to the athletes themselves, members of their teams also appear. Also in the photo are Fernando Vicente (Rublev’s coach) and Gilles Servara (Medvedev’s mentor). The image itself was published on the social network by Carlos Costa, Rublev’s physiotherapist.

“Great team! We work hard for the best results. Next – US Open ”, signed the picture. Remember that Daniil Medvedev became the US Open champion in 2021, Andrei Rublev reached the quarterfinals three times (2017 , 2020, 2022) and Karen Khachanov reached the semifinals of the tournament in 2022.
Leaving Cincinnati, Medvedev shared a picturesque photo taken on a plane on social media. Nature is really amazing. “See you next year Qingqi,” Daniel captioned the photo.

And Medvedev is not only a great tennis player, but also a loving and caring father. Daniel and his wife Daria are raising his daughter Alice, who was born in October of last year. The baby is barely 10 months old, and therefore she still cannot be separated from her parents for a long time. The presence of such a cheerleader certainly does not let Medvedev lose heart! So that the baby was not bored on the plane, Daniil and Daria arranged a children’s corner for him in front of the window.
Alisa Daniilovna is already trying to provide all possible help to her father. In this cute video, a girl is trying to unbox a new set of uniforms. It is true that she does not succeed very well, she looks around her and asks for help:

… Having won the title in 2021, Medvedev was unable to defend the trophy. At the US Open – 2022, the Russian lost to Nick Kiryos in the 1/8 final. This time Kiryosa, who actually misses this season, will not be in the tournament. But this doesn’t make it any easier for Daniil, as Djokovic and Alcaraz haven’t gone anywhere. Do you think he will challenge the new Big Two?
