“Suddenly, we hear someone howling, crying, the sound of a racquet being thrown. My mom asks what’s going on. Veronika Kudermetova’s dad starts laughing, ‘It’s Medvedev playing. You don’t know him?’ We went to watch him.

It was something else,” Daria Medvedeva told Tatler. “Three and a half hour match. Moonballs, 50-shot rallies… From his childhood Danya used to fight till the end, he was prepared to do anything on court, no matter how ugly his game may look, in order to win.

“In this sense, he hasn’t changed at all.”
