"They want to film your daughters, they want to film your wife" - Daniil Medvedev on why he won't feature in another tennis documentary

Following the release of the Netflix docuseries starring Carlos Alcaraz, Russian tennis star Daniil Medvedev has admitted he is not interested in participating in any similar projects.

Alcaraz's new series gives fans a behind-the-scenes look as he navigates between his real life and tennis profession. Both the Spaniard and Medvedev participated in Netflix's hit series, Break Point, although the Russian was not too pleased with his portrayal during the second season of the docuseries.

The former World No.1 stated he has no issues with entertaining fans on the tennis court, but draws the line at his personal life being documented.

"I saw, for example, how Carlos's one was done, you know, and, damn, it's cameras all over you, all over the day,” Medvedev said at the Madrid Open on Sunday. “That's not me. That's just, I mean, I get, like when I'm on court I try to sign a lot of autographs. When I'm, let's say, even if you're in the official hotels or you're out on a holiday, a lot of people camp outside the hotels. And it's fine, I sign, I take pictures. But like when I'm having dinner, when I'm with my family I don't.
“I sometimes can be, it's not rude, but people are like, ‘Oh, let's take a photo,’ when I'm eating dinner. And I'm like, ‘Nope.’ After dinner's it's okay. So I'm pretty, I can be pretty rude with my personal space.

"If I give it to the documentary I'm going to get nuts, like because, especially when you give your permission to them, they want more. They want to film your daughters, they want to film your wife, they want to ask them questions, they want to ask you more about your personal life.
“I remember I saw an interview of Jack Harlow, and he said that people around you, not your friends, like fans and everyone, they want to know everything about you. They want to know who you date, who, how, what you have for dinner, if you take your shower for 5 or 15 minutes. But you need to keep something for yourself, otherwise they take all your life away. So that's probably why I will never do a documentary, but let's see, I never say never."
