In Pictures: Daniil Medvedev's daughter Alisa adorably rides her mini Audi; hangs out with a bunny during her outing with mother Daria in Nice
Daniil Medvedev’s daughter Alisa seems to be having a jolly time with her mother Daria in Europe while the Russian prepares for his 2024 Cincinnati Open campaign in Ohio. The 22-month-old was recently captured hanging out with a bunny during an outing in Nice, France.
Medvedev was in Paris for the 2024 Olympics, where he competed in the men’s singles, men’s doubles, and mixed doubles categories as a neutral athlete. He was, however, unable to clinch a medal at the event. Just days following the setback, the former World No. 1 landed in Montreal for the Canadian Open but suffered an opening-match defeat to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
With renewed hope, Daniil Medvedev, who has yet to win a title this season, is now gearing up for his opening match at the ongoing Masters 1000 event in Cincinnati. The 2019 champion received a bye in the first round and will open his campaign against Jiri Lehecka on Wednesday, August 14.
While he is often accompanied by his family, Medvedev seems to be traveling sans his wife, Daria, and daughter, Alisa, during the initial tournaments of the North American swing. Daria recently shared a couple of pictures of their daughter enjoying her time at the Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Nice, indicating that the mother-daughter duo have stayed back at their residence in Monaco.
During the outing, Alisa took the wheel of her mini Audi and posed for the camera. She also encountered an adorable bunny during the visit.

Daniil Medvedev on his daughter Alisa: "I want her to be happy; to do whatever she feels like she wants to do"
Daniil Medvedev married his longtime partner Daria in 2018. The couple welcomed their daughter Alisa in October 2022.
Medvedev has often touched on how he approaches his role as a father. During the 2024 French Open, the 28-year-old pondered over the idea of his daughter following in his footsteps to become a tennis player. He ultimately said he wants her to have the privilege of choosing her own profession.
"I don't know. I want her to be happy; to do whatever she feels like she wants to do. And then there is a thin line because if I would have to choose myself at 10 years old, I'm not sure I would go to tennis," the 2021 US Open champion told Tennis Chanel.
"So, it's a thin line where you as a parent, you need to see what she likes doing and what she can do well because it's still important and also you don't want to force her," he added.
Divulging whether Alisa is fond of the racquet sport, Medvedev said:
"That's too early for the moment but she likes her small racquet that she has, she likes playing with the ball, she likes kicking the ball so let's see."
He, however, hilariously confessed he would give her matches a miss if she was to go pro, hinting he is an anxious watcher.
"If she comes to tennis, I'm not sure I will be there for the matches. I will be too stressed," Daniil Medvedev joked.
