There was a reason behind this. The match was being played in Madrid. Medvedev stated that he recalled Cristiano Ronaldo’s celebration during the footballer’s tenure at Real Madrid.

” When Cristiano played in Madrid, he was doing this celebration a lot of times. That’s why I decided to do it. I felt it was fun. But, yeah, probably it was the wrong decision, which can happen,” he stated on his celebration.

It appears like Daniil Medvedev is a passionate football fan. Moreover, the Russian did the ‘dead fish’ celebration after edging past Novak Djokovic in the finals of US Open 2021. He said it was inspired by the FIFA video game.
