Russia’s tennis star Andrey Rublev shared his love for fellow countryman Daniil Medvedev but realised his mistake soon afterwards.
The two have been rated as one of the best players in the world in the men’s singles category. In the recent past, the current world number three named Rublev to become the godfather of his daughter.
When asked why he did that, Medvedev responded by saying: "He's religious, so that's important to be a godfather. So it was kind of an easy decision.”
Rublev, in a video recently posted on Twitter, expressed his love for Medvedev but went a bit over the top by mixing the word ‘godfather’ with ‘grandfather’.
"I love Daniil (Medvedev). He gave me an opportunity and a special role to be a grandfather. Oh grandfather! Godfather of his daughter," he said.
Rublev had a decent start to his 2024 season as in the first Grand Slam of the year — Australian Open — he was knocked out in the quarterfinal after losing to Italy’s Jannik Sinner with a score of 6-4, 7-6, 6-3.
On the other hand, Medvedev also had a more than decent start to his new season as he finished as the runner-up in the Australian Open after losing to Sinner in the final with a score of 3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3.
