Daniil Medvedev will be seen in action this weekend at the Laver Cup, representing Team Europe. Ahead of the Boston event, Medvedev spoke with lavercup.com on a variety of topics, ranging from his future goals to how he celebrated his win at Flushing Meadows.
The 2019 US Open and 2021 Australian Open runner-up claimed that losing his first couple of Major finals didn’t deter him one bit. In fact, getting so close to the trophy twice made him even more determined to win his first Slam.
Daniil Medvedev took a well-deserved break after the US Open. Refreshed from his vacation in Miami and sporting a new haircut, the 25-year-old is ready for more challenges in the lead-up to the defense of his ATP Finals title.
Daniil Medvedev has past experience of leading a team in a multi-nation event, having guided Russia to the ATP Cup title earlier this year. But the World No. 2 believes the stakes are higher at the Laver Cup since it is a battle of continents.
“I want to play with Andrey Rublev” - Daniil Medvedev on his potential doubles partnership at Laver Cup
Daniil Medvedev also shared his thoughts on his possible participation in doubles at the Laver Cup. With the 25-year-old’s long-time friend Andrey Rublev also being a part of Team Europe, it is not a surprise that he picked the World No. 5 as his preferred doubles partner.
That said, Medvedev’s doubles record isn’t much to write home about. He has played doubles in three tournaments this year, and has won a grand total of two matches.
Even at the Tokyo Olympics, the Russian crashed out at the very first hurdle, in partnership with Aslan Karatsev. In that context, Medvedev joked about his shabby record in doubles, adding that it’s better if he stays away from the discipline.
