Monte-Carlo Masters: Daniil Medvedev Reveals Toddler Daughter’s Secret Ingredient That Did Him Wonders

World No. 4, Daniil Medvedev is known for his quirky on-court and off-court outbursts. Some call him entertaining while some call him rude. Constantly drawing different opinions from all quarters, he has effectively polarized the tennis world’s perspective of him. Never one to mince his words, his eccentric views on almost everything under the sun often set the tennis world abuzz with chatter. The same happened when the Russian was seen talking to Roman Safiullin during a practice session ahead of his Monte Carlo Masters opening match.

A fan went all out in a hilarious turn of events while speculating what the tennis pros were chatting about. Their idea comically revolves around Medvedev’s changed dietary preferences owing to his exposure to baby food.

Daniil Medvedev and his daughter’s love for ‘baby puree’

A fan took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to showcase his rib-tickling interpretation of Medvedev and Safiullin’s chat. The tweet shows a video of the tennis pros sitting and talking during a break in their practice session, presumably in Russian. The caption says, “Daniil said to Roman:…now when I travel to different countries, I take baby puree and it’s delicious. We just have to hope that this is the healthiest food, because it is for children after all…🤣”

Taking into account the Russian’s eccentric personality and his usual unorthodox commentary, the fan paints a picture where Medvedev is sharing his newfound love for “baby puree” owing to his ongoing experience with it due to his 1-year-old baby girl, Alisa. The fact that the conversation is inaudible and the suspension of disbelief it creates, makes the tweet witty and entertaining.

But another source says that the conversation is, in fact, real!

Regardless of being hailed and sometimes even hated for being one of the most entertaining tennis players on the tour, the Russian never fails to be himself on and off the court. The polarization effect that Medvedev has on the fans is a testament to his entertaining value, which can be invaluable when looking to draw crowds and build viewership for the sport.

Although this specific tweet by the fan is hilarious, the truth about Medvedev’s relationship with his family is softer. In the award ceremony of the Australian Open earlier this year, the often brash Medvedev could be seen turning extremely emotional while talking about his wife and daughter.

‘if you’re watching, it felt like you were there with me’ – Daniil Medvedev

Earlier this year, When the runner-up of the 2024 Australian Open, Medvedev was given the mic to talk during an on-court interview, he thanked his family and expressed his dejection about disappointing his toddler daughter and wife, Dasha.

Medvedev slowed down to say, “I don’t know if they turned off the TV, but Dasha, Alisa, if you’re watching, it felt like you were there with me.” He added, “Unfortunately I couldn’t make it today. But I’m gonna try to make it work next time for you.”

This emotional address not only showed a contrasting side of the Russian but also won many hearts in the tennis world including fans, spectators, and players, bringing them to tears.
