A father-daughter bond is a special connection filled with love, joy, and unforgettable moments. For Daniil Medvedev, known for his fierce nature on the tennis court, this bond shows his softer side with his 2-year-old daughter, Alisa. Balancing his demanding career with fatherhood, Medvedev is embracing the joys and challenges of parenting with dedication. A glimpse of that was visible on his social media platform recently.

Daniil Medvedev has wrapped up a challenging season and is now relaxing with his family. Despite finishing the year ranked 5th in the ATP rankings, the Russian star admitted he struggled with his performance, especially during the season’s final months. Medvedev openly shared his frustrations at the ATP Finals, saying he was eager for the season to end as he did not feel confident in his game.

With the competitive pressure behind him now, Medvedev has shifted his focus to spending quality time with his young daughter. The tennis ace recently posted a heartwarming story on social media – sharing a moment with her at an amusement park in Monaco. Medvedev seems to be relishing these family moments, saying in an earlier interview, “I don’t always succeed to be the best father I want to be, but it teaches you. I am even trying to read books about it because I really want her to grow up as a happy person.”

Medvedev’s efforts show his dedication not only to his career but also to being a present and thoughtful father. He is using this downtime to recharge and connect with his family before starting his 2025 preseason training and preparing for the tennis action down under.

Daniil Medvedev has never been shy when it comes to opening up about his family. In one of the interviews, he revealed the cheeky side that his daughter Alisa has.

Daniil Medvedev shares her daughter’s angry side

Daniil Medvedev recently shared an amusing insight into his daughter’s personality. He revealed how her moments of anger often leave him reflecting on himself. “If something doesn’t go her way, then she throws a toy in anger or bites it,” Medvedev shared. “My wife is looking at me saying, ‘Okay, where does it come from?’ And that’s pretty funny because you start asking yourself if it’s just pure genetics and I don’t have an answer to this question.”

Medvedev’s comments come as no surprise to tennis fans who have often witnessed his fiery reactions during matches. His competitive spirit has often boiled over in moments of frustration. During the King’s Cup in Riyadh, Medvedev smashed his racket after a disappointing loss to Jannik Sinner (6-1, 6-4). A similar scene unfolded at the ATP Finals against Taylor Fritz, where Medvedev broke his racket after double-faulting on a crucial break point, eventually losing 6-4, 6-3.

Medvedev has admitted to struggling with his tennis in recent years. “I have this every day, day in, day out, since like two, three years. Every practice is a struggle. Every match is a struggle,” he said. “Now I feel zero pleasure of being on the court.”

Despite his on-court challenges, Medvedev seems to find joy in parenting. Even though he might look fiery on the court, he manages to keep his calm off it. We hope he returns to his old form in the next season.
