Daniil Medvedev returns to his life with daughter Alisa and family in Monte Carlo after heartbreak at Miami Open
Daniil Medvedev recently shared an endearing image of himself eating ice cream with his daughter Alisa. The 2021 US Open champion was relaxing in Monte Carlo after a disappointing outing at the Miami Open, where he he suffered a second-round defeat at the hands of Jaume Munar.
Medvedev is back in Europe, preparing for the upcoming clay court season, a surface where he won his maiden title at the 2023 Italian Open. His best performance at the French Open is reaching the quarterfinals in 2021.
The Russian recently shared an image of himself himself enjoying ice cream with his two-year-old daughter Alisa.
Medvedev was interviewed by tennis.com after he became a father for the first time in 2022. The 20-time ATP tour winner laughingly suggested that his daughter Alisa copies his on-court moods, which prompts accusations from his wife, Daria.
“If something doesn’t go her way, then she throws a toy in anger or bites it. 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 said.
Daniil Medvedev has won 12 out of 19 matches so far in 2025

During the middle eastern swing, the Russian lost in the quarterfinals of both the Qatar Open and the Dubai Tennis Championships. After this, Medvedev registered his best performance of the season so far at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
