You just have to love his brutal honesty! LOL one of the best press conferences in all of tennis. I love his and Djokovic’s press conferences the most

[@Jbeee10]

All of sports actually

[@frankd9015]

I agree. I see him and Novak actually liking to do the press and they really say whats on their mind!

@@kawai99100 That's how one gets to change things. It's slow, and you get lots of criticism, but you move things forward.

[@kawai99100]

Novak and Daniil are my two favourite tennis players. Great both on and off the court.

What a respectful man he has evolved into.

[@lucienng1776]

He is also a very good guy, just love his smile - so genuine

[@hksrm4172]

So refreshing, something real and true to itself. Medvedev is so natural and honest that even the press starts to ask better questions and we hear insights where we can in no other way could get.

Novack is my hero iam 70 yrs hes a man's man

[@lizpontaneous9121]

Daniil, thank you for the kind words you said about Novak. That’s admirable.

[@vitalymeditation]

Best guy to listen to during interviews, he actually says something new and interesting every single time

[@bogdannik91]

Nice to hear That Djoko is being kind to everyone independently from their rank or success, Roger and Rafa for example, have the rule of holding a distance to any player from they can’t profit this way or another….

[@subarashifoundation]

Do they? I don’t think so. Just because Novak is friendly to everybody doesn’t imply Fedal are rude, weird how we can’t praise a person without dragging others down nowadays

[@DR-ib2yg]

@@subarashifoundation Maybe not rude but Federer in particular is not nice. I can't remember where he once praised the opponent when Federer lost? Rafa is doing it when loosing but Federer not!

[@corneliuscornia3189]

​​@@subarashifoundationFor a Spanish a bit unusual not to be sincere and friendly, I can't say the same about the Swiss guy,boring and kind of weird people.

​@@subarashifoundationMaybe do a bit of research on Nadals and Federers work in the players council, might give you a few pointers on why players don't like them as much as the *other* one

[@luyin1961]

Great interview. Both Daniil and Novak are good people, period. Don't understand all the hate. I was really pissed at the Break Point episode, which had him as the bad guy, not mentioning any of weird stuff including physical abuse stuff about Zverev.

[@ellobo4290]

Love this guy! Articulate, intelligent, funny, direct, and not to mention a great tennis player :)

[@dabears61]

Medi always has the best interviews

Novak is my guy but I love this guys attitude and honesty and sense of humor.

[@iviciaable]

you should remember that top tennis players, and any other top sports stars, besides they are very famous on the court, they all have different personality and their own personal character, I love Daniil's persona, no matter if I do not know him personally, you simply "feel" some people..

[@Max-px5ym]

It's been a while since there was a grand slam that was so open: Sinner, Alcaraz, Medvedev, and ofc Djokovic all have their chances to the title. + potential surprises from de minaur and cazaux.

[@jessicaadaora9109]

Ummm not sure about that, it’s like saying the French is wide open when a healthy Rafa is still in the mix, was it ever really wide open. Sure it’s possible, but it’s not that wide open, it was in 2022 when Djokovic wasn’t there when Rafa won but not sure yet if I would call it wide open. Let’s see though.

[@Max-px5ym]

@@jessicaadaora9109 look at Sinner, De Minaur & Cazaux. A year ago, no one would have imagined they could beat Djokovic in a grand Slam. Today they have shown some the most impressive performances of the grand slam. Now I know Djokovic steps up his game for the late matches, but for once in a long time he's got plenty of tough competition, having recently lost to sinner and de minaur.

[@matthewrigg893]

​@@Max-px5ympeople think De Minaur can beat Djokovic at a grand slam?

[@Max-px5ym]

@@matthewrigg893 Djokovic hadn't lost a match on Australia since 2018. De Minaur stunned Djokovic this month, against all expectations. And his performance so far in the grand slam has been more impressive than that of the 🐐. So while Djokovic is still the favourite, people do think an upset by De Minaur (and others) can happen

[@matthewrigg893]

@@Max-px5ym mostly Australian media and Australians think De Minaur can beat Djokovic in the later rounds of a grand slam. Djokovic loss was a bit of a shock but let's be realistic also. It wasn't at a grand slam or a master's 1000 event where Djokovic prioritizes and peaks. Djok was also not 100%. De Minaur has a horror run now he has to somehow beat Rublev and then play Sinner and then he most likely gets Djokovic and then probably Medvedev/Alcaraz. I think he is a fantastic player but the media hype him up way too much in Australia.

[@mpitanguy]

Wise words from Medvedev

Hope he, Sinner or Alcarat win the title this year/now. Love Daniil (even tho hes russian) - so authentic, happy & friendly, but also love Rublow/Rublev! 👏

even tho he's russian? what does that mean

Just curious question, it’s fair for Russian’s players to play without their flag?

[@GeroNimo-pk1fb]

That is disgraceful.

No it’s not , but it’s double standard.

Who was he talking about practicing with, who stands back far when returning?

I know he won without checking just because he's smiling. LoL

[@poihjkmn]

Rivalry!!!!!? Please have some respect to Djokovic name! No one from the new generation can be consider as rival to Novak

[@shikhab2250]

You clearly don't comprehend English well if you listen to his interviews (including this) he is one of the very few guys who always mentions how nice Novak is as a person and how well he treats others no matter what rank whenever he has an opportunity Clearly if this is not "respect" for you then I wonder what is. Why do you think rivaly is a derogatory term? Obviously every player is a rival on court doesn't matter if he/she had 100 slams or 0slams and Daniel has beaten Novak.
