Daniil Medvedev opens up on feud dissipating with Stefanos Tsitsipas: "Have completely normal, respectful relations"
ATP
Russia’s tennis star Daniil Medvedev has opened up about his
relationship with Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas. The two stars were involved in a
feud in the past on more than one occasion which was highlighted in the media
as well.
Medvedev was recently quoted in a report where he revealed his relationship with the former world number three and stated that the relationship
between them currently is ‘completely normal’. "In tennis, in general, being very close friends with
someone is difficult,” he said. “You need to know each other for a long time,
have common interests - like Andrey (Rublev), Karen (Khachanov) and Roman
(Safiullin)."
"It seems to me that now we (himself and Tsitsipas) have
completely normal, respectful relations. Who knows, maybe there will be some more controversy
on the court. But, in my opinion, everything developed only in a positive
direction for us. Now we respect each other as athletes and treat each other
completely calmly."
Both Medvedev and Tsitsipas are currently taking part in the
Monte-Carlo Masters. The current world number four will face the winner of the
match between France’s Gael Monfils and Australia’s Jordan Thompson. On the other
hand, the Greek tennis star will face the winner of the match between Nicolas
Jarry and Tomas Martin Etcheverry on Wednesday.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
