Daniil Medvedev is renowned in the tennis community for his extraordinary abilities and unwavering perseverance on the court. But in the end, it was his passionate approach during a match that helped him meet and marry Daria Medvedeva, the love of his life. The 28-year-old athlete has undoubtedly put in a lot of effort to get where he is, but what helped him throughout his journey was the constant cheer of his wife, Medvedeva.

Model Daria Medvedeva was born in Russia. Although she attended the Moscow State Institute of International Relations to study journalism, she had a keen interest in tennis as a kid. And it is her connection to this sport that led her to meet Daniil Medvedev.

Like her husband, Daria Medvedeva also played tennis.

She explained how she was only 12 years old when she and her team were having dinner at a local cafe near the tennis court where his husband was playing. When Daria’s mother asked about the sound of the throwing of a racket, Daria said, “It’s Medvedev playing. You don’t know him? We went to watch him.”
