I Played With Daniil Medvedev Before He Beat Novak Djokovic!

[@jeffhermida4788]

Not only were you able to practice with Daniil, you also celebrated his title win with him!!! That's truly amazing! Not many people will have that experience!

[@gladiatorstribe]

It really is! Totally mind blowing!

[@racs101]

It would be nice to you play against him in tournament in the future!

Bro says Ace before he serves against Medvedev. What a legend hahaha

[@gladiatorstribe]

Hahahhahahahaha 🫢

[@andrew9913]

I will never forget his Australian Open speech after finishing 2nd. He was extremely classy, humble and overall graceful in his loss. I remember not knowing much about him as a person before that speech and afterwards thinking to myself: I am a Medvedev fan. Awesome stuff!

[@manoharman4425]

It was my first encounter with Medvedev .I saw just speech live on TV become huge fan of him

[@garrett879]

I really liked how your narrating made us feel as if we were in your shoes and how cool of a guy Medvedev is. This was an awesome experience, keep it up.

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thank you very much!! Really glad to know that!!

[@gladiatorstribe]

Hahaha convenient indeed! 😂

[@gladiatorstribe]

It does! Thank you very much!

[@jakstrike1]

Got to say these 2 vids have been the best thing I've watched on KZbin this year! Such a cool experience and well filmed and edited. Can tell how much you genuinely enjoyed the whole thing.

Thank you very much!

[@willzsportscards]

DUDE. What an epic week. I still can't get over how flat DM's groundies are and how late his takebacks are. And yet he is as consistent as he is. All those top guys just have next level hand/eye coordination. Insane when you see it up close like this.

[@gladiatorstribe]

Yep, it's very interesting, he manages to make it work somehow haaahah They definitely do, the timing is crazy!

[@alvar1767]

очень крутой выпуск, интересно наблюдать за теннисистами не только на соревновательных кортах, а ещё и на таких живых тренировках с разговорами) жду выпуск с Андреем🔥

[@gladiatorstribe]

Большое спасибо!! Скоро будет!

[@germanslice]

@@gladiatorstribe Oh you got your hands full training with Daniel. He hits the ball so flat and deep. What grip is he using on that forehand. He just plows all through the ball.

[@rowingocean]

Seems like you had such an amazing time with Danil. Video of yours will bring him a lot of fans in return - including myself.

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thank you so much for saying that 🙌🔥

[@synthexy2368]

What a story ! Amazing... Daniil seems to have such humility. Thank you for sharing these moments !

[@gladiatorstribe]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@ZacharyShahan]

This is so fascinating!! Also, love Daniil and these days Rublev as well - as I've gotten to know how nice and cool he is off court.

[@where-we-roam]

What an incredible experience. Daniil is a really solid dude. Will definitely be cheering for him. Love the behind the scenes with the pros. It's insight that is rarely seen. Anyway, the grinding is paying off Grish. If you keep it up, there will be tennis YTers making videos about getting to warm you up before an ATP event. 👍

[@gladiatorstribe]

Hahahhaha thank you very much! Let's hope you're right hhahahaha

[@roypeterka]

You did an amazing job documenting the journey. Even bigger fan of you and Medvedev. I hope you get to do this many times over.

Awesome part 2, well worth the wait. I love how you started to feel like part of his team and felt responsible to scout and prep him for Djokovic. Speaks to how nice Medvedev must be to make you feel that vested in his success.

unreal experience. so glad for you.i would love to meet DANI and RUBLEV IN LIFE. SEEMS WERY COOL GUYS

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thank you! They really are!

[@RaymondChenon]

Thanks for sharing 🙏 your amazing experience with Medvedev. I went to Roland Garros 2022 to watch the match Medvedev vs Cilic. I didn't know both players. Of course, I know the 3 GOAT names. Then I saw an interview of him speaking fluent French. Wahoo, he was no longer the player with weird moves. Your insight experience helps us appreciate more of Medvedev as a human. Seeing you both practice and your commentaries demystify his "signature" moves. PS : I've been a subscriber to this channel for 2 years for your tennis racquet review. So I 've been a longer fan of Gladiators than Medvedev 😊. PS 2 : Daniil is nice to everyone maybe because Novak treated him well when Daniil was ranked ATP 600. Source : Speech of Medvedev after the final of Australia Open 2021. Grisha, you showed us you were not overpowered by a top 1-5 ATP. Waiting for Rublev episode(s) 🔥

[@gladiatorstribe]

Wow! Thank you so much for such an open feedback! Appreciate you sticking around from day one and thank you very much for being more fan of Gladiators than of Medvedev ahhahahaha 💪🏽❤️

[@BeyondTheCourt543]

Hahahaha thanks!

[@jhondoe6735]

You must b very good to keep up with Daniel. Mayb you could be a contender someday.

[@gladiatorstribe]

Maybe one day!!!

[@marriedwithwatches]

Such a cool experience for you. Thanks for sharing with us. I'm glad he turned out to be such a cool person. I've been a fan of his ever since he egged on the crowd at the US Open when they were booing him. It showed that he was mentally tough enough to be himself and you can like it or not. Mamba mentality! In the long run I think the experience and confidence you gained from this should help you in your futures tournaments. I mean from here on out you won't face anyone tougher than Daniil.

[@gladiatorstribe]

You're definitely right! One very tough guy to overcome mentally. For sure, the confidence this experience gave me will help a lot on my tour 😂😂

[@KH28m]

Wow, you were definetely a part of his title run in Dubai, congratulations to you bro

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thank you very much! Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so! 😂😂

[@MPTennis]

Wow, what a fantastic video! Congratulations on putting together such an engaging and entertaining vlog. As a tennis fan/player, it was fascinating to see the behind-the-scenes action of being a hitting partner in Dubai and warming up Daniil Medvedev. And let's not forget how cool it must have been to celebrate with Medvedev after his win - talk about living the dream! You definitely have some serious skills on the court and behind the camera. Keep up the great work and who knows, maybe we'll see you lifting a trophy of your own one day (just don't forget to thank us in your speech 😉). Cheers!

[@AnkeethM]

What an awesome series! So cool seeing your practice with Medvedev, especially from this angle. Slapshot return at 10:23 was quite something, he's hitting down. I see that he switched racquets several times through the practice, what does he change / why does he grab a different frame?

[@gladiatorstribe]

Thanks hahaha It was huh 😂 I actually go over it in part 1 😉

[@AnkeethM]

@@gladiatorstribe I must have missed it. I saw that he changed racquets before he started warming up his serve with new balls, I'm guessing that is for higher tension / better control

[@gladiatorstribe]

[@jnprather]

Holy shit. That "point" at 8:57 was complete toyage mode. It was interesting to hear you describe the differences between your level and his. One thing I've always notices as you look towards the best in the world is that basically never shot looks "off" no matter how poor their footwork may be for that shot. You'll notice lower level players are constantly hitting compromised shots because their footwork/stance isn't quite there, but the guys at the top seem to just rip off the same shot even when their footwork/setup is suspect. Daniil is a great example, especially on his forehand. His feel at the hands is unbelievable. Getting to celebrate with him is so amazing. And yeah, you were part of it :).
