Did Daniil Medvedev’s Parents Fake Medical Certificates to Further His Tennis Ambitions?

In an interview with Sport-Express, the Russian tennis player’s mother revealed how they faced a lot of struggle to give her son proper coaching. While talking about her son’s childhood, Olga said, “It was difficult because everything happened quickly.” She went on to share details of Daniil Medvedev’s outstanding academic performance at his school as he was diligently keeping up with various endeavors.

Olga stated, “You had to stay with him. He studied at the high-school math, he did well. He was also playing other sports like swimming in order to stay fit. We also went to music, art, drawing. At the same time, he started speaking English and French.” Medvedev’s mom also disclosed that her son’s tennis coaching and participation in tournaments were to be kept under wraps as he attended a ‘serious’ school.

In order to allow their kid to go and compete in a tournament, Olga and Sergey even had medical certificates falsified. Olga said, “At school, we did not say he was in sports because that was a serious school. If he had to travel to play a tournament, we were going to the doctor in order to get a medical certificate.”
