Daniil Medvedev celebrated his birthday on the 11th of February, and many wishes poured in from family, friends, and fans. Many people from the tennis fraternity also wished the World No. 2, who turned 26 this year.

Medvedev practices at Patrick Mouratoglou’s academy often. Not only does the Russian post pictures of his training sessions on his social media accounts, Mouratoglou and his academy’s official page also do the same.

Mouratoglou uses ‘iconic’ video to wish Daniil Medvedev

The Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) was an international individual tennis league, organized by Patrick Mouratoglou and Alex Popyrin, entrepreneur and father of Alexei Popyrin. They held the first edition of the league in 2020. This was when the ATP calendar was disrupted because of the COVID-19 Pandemic. It is Medvedev’s introduction video for this tournament that Mouratoglou used to wish the 26-year-old.

In the video, Medvedev refers to himself as the ‘Chessmaster’ and talks about how some people call him the ‘Garry Kasparov of tennis’. He also used a chess analogy to explain the way he plays. Fans can see him hitting the balls hard on a clay court, which he publicly has said is his least favorite surface. In the video, he also says that hates to lose, and he is no longer a rook, rather he is ‘more of a master.‘
