Daniil Medvedev 'gets the worst schedules every time' says Rennae Stubbs after recent scheduling woes

Often among a myriad of players who seem to always be on last on a schedule, Daniil Medvedev is used to a late night and scheduling not going his way with former coach of Serena Williams, Rennae Stubbs saying he gets the worst schedules in the sport.

Stubbs spoke on her podcast with Andrea Petkovic and said that Medvedev has to deal with worse luck than most. He for instance played until the early morning at the Australian Open against Emil Ruusuvuori and even later today as of time of writing, he is last up on the schedule and due to rain delays will likely play late at the Miami Open.

She also shared an anecdote of her apologising to him everytime that he would seemingly be on after Serena Williams on a schedule to which he responded that he expects it with the American legend. But this trend has continued whether Serena Williams has played or not it seems with Stubbs highlighting it on her latest podcast. Titleless so far this season, Medvedev though has reached finals at the Australian Open and Indian Wells with defeats to the so-called Next Generation in Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz as Medvedev continues to be the best of the rest so to speak.

"I don't know about you Petko, but at the Australian Open, at the US Open last year, and again at Indian Wells, that skinny motherf**ker gets the worst schedules. He gets the worst schedules every time," Stubbs said.

"When Serena played and I was coaching Serena, he was on after Serena every single match at the US Open, 2 or 3 years ago, whenever it was. And we'd see each other the next day, and I was like 'Dude, sorry about the schedule again' and he's like 'Aah it's Serena, it is what it is'."
