Due to the coronavirus pandemic, everyone is stuck in their homes. During this time, tennis players are doing their best to stay as fit as possible. But apparently, Stan Wawrinka [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/stan-wawrinka/] is not doing very well when it comes to fitness. Check out what he said in a recent talk. Stan Wawrinka can recover lost time [https://www.tennisworldusa.org/imgb/83628/stan-wawrinka-can-recover-lost-time.jpg] STAN WAWRINKA ON HIS FITNESS Stan Wawrinka recently had a talk with RTS. During the chat, he was asked how he feels about playing some tournaments right now after such a long break caused by the coronavirus. He replied by saying, “I’m not in good shape at the end of this period and I don’t want to take risks by playing tournaments now.” I think we can all understand why Stan is being cautious. He obviously does not want to get injured again but he is probably not the only one who is taking it slow. Many other players will also be doing the same thing as it not safe to play high-intensity tennis after a long break. Andy Roddick Reveals the Adjustments Stan Wawrinka Made Before his ... [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/images-55-26.jpeg] Another reason why Wawrinka is taking things slowly is his experience with his previous injury. After winning 3 Grand Slams between 2014-2016, Stan came into 2017 with high expectations. But sadly, he suffered an injury that forced him to undergo surgery thereby ending his 2017 season early. After that injury, Stan lost his position at the top. He failed to win any big titles and even dropped out of the Top-250. Ever since then, he has been trying to get back to playing the level of tennis he did in 2014-16. We did see signs of such a return at the 2019 US Open and the 2020 Australian Open. In those tournaments, he beat Novak Djokovic and outlasted Daniil Medvedev in a 5-set thriller. Hopefully, Stan will take his time so that he can play his best tennis. He surely has the ability to win some Grand Slams again when the ATP Tour returns from its suspension [https://www.atptour.com/en/news/atp-extends-tour-suspension] in August.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Daniil Medvedev: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, wife and more</b></h2>
Daniil Medvedev idolized his countryman Marat Safin while growing up, but his stellar feats will even force the 2-time grand slam champion to stand up and applaud the 28-year-old's exploits on the tennis court. In an era dominated by <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic/">Novak Djokovic</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal/">Rafael Nadal</a>, Daniil Medvedev has been the shining star outside these two big champions. Between 2019 and 2024, Daniil has made it to six grand slam finals, multiple ATP finals, and Davis Cup finals as well. This has helped Daniil to not just raise his stature as a tennis player but also pocket a whopping $39 million as prize money, to go with a net worth of $25 million.

[caption id="attachment_1522992" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1522992 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1016669222h.jpg" alt="Daniil Medvedev" width="1920" height="1280" /> Tennis: US Open, Sep 12, 2021 Flushing, NY, USA Daniil Medvedev of Russia celebrates with the championship trophy after his match against Novak Djokovic of Serbia not pictured in the men s singles final on day fourteen of the 2021 U.S. Open tennis tournament at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.

He likes playing mind games with his opponents and picking a fight with the chair umpire, and at times he isn't a crowd favorite. However, his tennis feats have helped him achieve being a grand slam champion already and also attain a former world number one ranking.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Daniil Medvedev? </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Born on February 11, 1996, Daniil Sergeyevich Medvedev is a professional tennis player from Moscow, Russia. Medvedev is currently ranked 4th in the men’s ATP rankings but was a former world number 1 in February 2022. He has won 20 ATP men’s singles titles, which also include the 2020 ATP Finals and the 2021 US Open title in New York, where he defeated Novak Djokovic in the final. He is also a three-time runner-up at the Australian Open in Melbourne. He idolizes former Russian player Marat Safin, who was also a two-time major champion. On a personal level, Medvedev is married to Daria Chernyshkova and has a daughter, Alisa, born on October 14, 2022.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Daniil Medvedev’s early life </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Daniil Medvedev took to tennis when he was just six years old, when his father, Sergey Medvedev, a computer engineer by profession, enrolled him in tennis lessons under Ekaterina Kyruchkova, a former coach to ex-world number two Vera Zvonareva. Medvedev also had a keen interest in the harpsichord and playing guitar in his childhood. He later moved to France with his family to focus on tennis and is fluent in French, English, and Russian.</span>

[caption id="attachment_1251724" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1251724 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-10-08T142732Z_602179916_UP1EIA8145UF7_RTRMADP_3_TENNIS-ASTANA.jpg" alt="Daniil Medvedev" width="1920" height="1322" /> Tennis - ATP 500 - Astana Open - National Tennis Center, Astana, Kazakhstan - October 8, 2022 Russia's Daniil Medvedev reacts during his semi final match against Serbia's Novak Djokovic REUTERS/Pavel Mikheyev[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">It took Daniil another seven years to play his first junior match at a grade four tournament in Estonia in 2009. He was an unpolished product then, but between October 2012 and July 2013, Daniil set the junior circuit on fire by winning six titles, including four straight ones. A year later, he turned professional and ended his junior career with a record of 109-43 wins.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Daniil Medvedev’s wife and children</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Daniil Medvedev is married to Daria Chernyshkova, whom he first started dating in 2014, and the two tied the knot four years later in a private intimate ceremony in September 2018. In 2022, the couple welcomed their first daughter, Alisa.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Daria, too, is a retired former junior tennis player and first met Daniil when they were teenagers. Daria eventually left the sport when she was 18 after suffering multiple injuries. In September 2019, Daniil credited his marriage for the improvement in his tennis results. Within 10 months of proposing Daria, Daniil won two major tournaments and entered the top 10. Daria also works as Daniil’s assistant, helps him procure travel visas, and constantly travels with her husband to all the major tournaments around the world.  </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Daniil Medvedev’s net worth 2024</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Outside the Big 3, Daniil Medvedev has been a consistent performer at the ATP circuit in the last decade or so. With 20 career titles under his belt, Daniil has managed to bag an impressive net worth as well. As of March 2024, Medvedev has an estimated net worth of $25 million. He has received a prize money of $39,301,567 in his tennis career so far. Daniil is one of those eight players to have earned a prize money over $39 million. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Daniil Medvedev is well-settled in Monte Carlo, Monaco, and is a proud owner of BMW X6M.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Daniil Medvedev’s career </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Daniil turned professional in 2014, and in the last decade has tasted both the highs and the lows. The highs have come in the form of being an ATP Finals champion in 2020 when he defeated Austrian <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dominic-thiem/">Dominic Thiem</a> in a 3-set match to win the Year-end finals for the first time in his career. A year later, things went from good to great, when he won his only grand slam to date in New York. Daniil defeated world number one Novak Djokovic in straight sets to lift the 2021 US Open in New York. The win also denied Novak of a calendar slam. The Russian played non-stop tennis in 2021 which ended on a high note as he helped team Russia win the Davis Cup Finals.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Along the way, there have been heartbreaks as well. The Russian has made it to six Grand Slam Finals in his career - three apiece at the Australian Open and at the US Open and has managed to win just one. He lost five of those finals to Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, and the remaining one to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jannik-sinner/">Jannik Sinner</a> at the 2024 Australian Open.</span>

[caption id="attachment_913334" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-913334 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-01-30T152118Z_591588629_UP1EI1U14TVNC_RTRMADP_3_TENNIS-AUSOPEN.jpg" alt="Rafael Nadal and Daniil Medvedev" width="1920" height="1358" /> Tennis - Australian Open - Men's Singles Final - Melbourne Park, Melbourne, Australia - January 31, 2022 Spain's Rafael Nadal and Russia's Daniil Medvedev celebrate with trophies after the final REUTERS/Morgan Sette[/caption]

<span style="font-weight: 400">Apart from the grandslams and ATP Finals, Daniil has lifted six ATP Tour Masters 1000 titles in his glorious career and lost three. Overall, Daniil has won 20 ATP titles in his career so far.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">It was in the 2015 Kremlin Cup when he made his ATP debut in a doubles match, partnering Aslan Karatsev. He made his ATP Singles main draw debut at the 2016 Nice Open in France but lost to Argentine Guido Pella in the first round. His maiden ATP singles final came at the 2017 Chennai Open in India, where he lost to Roberto Bautista Agut in two sets. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">It was at the 2017 Wimbledon that Daniil registered his maiden Grand Slam match win against Switzerland’s Stanislas Wawrinka. That was the start of big things to come, as he won his maiden ATP title at the Sydney International at the start of 2018. Since then, Daniil hasn’t looked back.</span>

Medvedev also won most of his titles in hard court tournaments with 18 titles already to his name.

Medvedev had a dream run at the summer hard court season in the USA in 2019. He reached six consecutive tournament finals, including one at the US Open and three at Masters 1000 events. In the year 2022, he managed to make his second successive finals appearance at the Australian Open. Though, he was defeated by Rafael Nadal in a 5-set thriller. Later at the Vienna Open, he defeated Karen Khachanov to win his second ATP 500 title.

In 2023, Medvedev managed to win three titles - the Rotterdam Open, Qatar, and Dubai Open within a space of three weeks at the start of the year. However, he ran out of luck at the Majors, losing in the 3rd round of the Australian Open and facing humiliation in Paris, by losing in the opening round. However, he did produce his best tennis on grass, by reaching the semifinal at the Wimbledon, and one more final at the US Open, losing to his old nemesis, Novak Djokovic.

The start of the year 2024 was a great one for Daniil, as he reached the final of the Australian Open for the third time in his career. This time, he was the favorite against Italian Jannik Sinner, but lost the final in five sets, and thus became the only player in the open era to lose two major finals after taking a 2-0 lead.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Daniil Medvedev’s partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">With consistent success on the tennis court, Daniil has plenty of big brands and endorsements against his name. The Russian is a brand ambassador of luxury car brand BMW in Russia. Lacoste is Medvedev’s apparel sponsor, while Tecnifibre provides him racquets. Daniil has a keen interest in gaming and also enjoys an endorsement deal from HyperX. The Russian grand slam winner also has endorsements with Bovet Tinkoff. </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Daniil Medvedev’s records</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Daniil Medvedev can call himself a touch unlucky, after losing five out of the six Grand Slam finals in his career, but at the same time, he has been able to etch his name in record books for some positive results as well.</span>

Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements 2023 Novak Djokovic Wimbledon 2023 The Serbian tennis legend Novak Djokovic set out to play a final that the entirety of the world had dreamt of for the past few months. Since the rise of Carlos Alcaraz, everyone wanted to watch a showdown between the two. They eventually met in the final of Wimbledon, which seemed to be in Djokovic&#8217;s favor. After the Serbian won the first set 6-1, he would lose two sets continuously, which made the score 6-1, 6-7(6), 1-6.

Alcaraz won the fifth set and showed why he topped the Pepperstone ATP rankings. After the gruesome match, Djokovic&#8217;s speech contained much praise for his opponent of the day. However, as he looked up at his son smiling in the stands, he could not compose himself anymore.? Djokovic cried and, as he gained composure, said, &#8220;I love you. Thank you for supporting me. I&#8217;ll give you a big hug &amp; we can all love each other. Thank you.&#8221; Novak Djokovic French Open Feat 2023 After a fantastic start to 2023, Djokovic seemed to falter. Not winning any back-to-back tournaments would not raise an eyebrow for any other player. But for Djokovic, it can become a big deal. The former World No.1 did not win any tournaments following the Australian Open. His best record was making it to the semifinal in the Dubai Tennis Championships.

In the Italian Open, he reached the quarterfinal but lost to Holger Rune. With the Djoker enduring a slump in form, many didn&#8217;t consider him to be a favorite for the French Open title. To worsen his odds, Nole was suffering from an injury prior to the clay season. But he would prove all of his doubters wrong as he went past each player with ease, only dropping two sets on his way to the final. In the final, he went on to win against Casper Ruud in straight sets. After lifting the trophy, he went one step above Nadal in the all-time grand slam race. Novak Djokovic Australian Open 2023- A victorious hardcourt season The Djoker began this year with an impressive win in the Adelaide International. He won the tournament while dropping just one set throughout the entire tournament. After that, it was time to reclaim his throne on the hard courts of Melbourne after an absence of one year. In 2022, Djokovic was deported from Australia as he failed to comply with vaccination rules.? This year, the event became a topic of discussion as the country had relaxed its vaccine rules which allowed Djokovic to play in the tournament. Unfortunately, he could not maintain a controversy-free stint.

The Serbian ranks 23rd in the Forbes list of the world&#8217;s highest-paid athletes. Novak Djokovic early life Novak Djokovic began playing tennis when he was just four years old. Amidst difficult circumstances growing up, Djokovic still ended up as the best under-14 player from Europe and went on to shine the brightest on the ATP tour. The Serbian won his first Grand Slam title at the 2008 Australian Open as a 21-year-old. Coming to his personal life, Djokovic started dating Jelena Ristic in 2005, and the couple got engaged in 2013. A year later, they got married in &#8216;Sveti Stefan&#8217;, a hotel resort in Montenegro. The couple has two children &#8211; Stefan and Tara Djokovic. His parents are professional skiers, and his?brothers are professional tennis players. All of them are based in Serbia. Novak Djokovic&#8217;s tennis career (2001-2023) Djokovic started out on a successful path by becoming Europe&#8217;s top-ranked under-14 player and was also part of Serbia&#8217;s Junior Davis Cup event. His best record from the junior tour came at the Australian Open, where he reached the semifinals in 2004. Having been considered a player who made regular appearances in the semifinals at slams, Djokovic found his first major title at the 2008 Australian Open. 2011 was the year when the Serbian star truly started his dominance against two of his biggest rivals -?Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Both these opponents frequently met Djokovic and were defeated by the Serb on most occasions. The Serb&#8217;s dominance continued even in 2021, where he won three Grand Slam titles and came close to winning an unprecedented Calendar Slam at the US Open.

He had to withdraw from the Australian Open. He found himself eliminated in the French Open in the quarterfinal. But he would maintain his Wimbledon streak as he won the title against Nick Kyrgios. Following the theme of the first slam, he had to withdraw from the US Open due to vaccination rules.? In 2023, Djokovic would shine even brighter than before. Starting the year with a 10th Australian Open title meant that he now equaled Rafa&#8217;s record. After the event, he would win the French Open for the third time and make it his 23rd grand slam, officially the most in men&#8217;s singles. Unfortunately, he would lose his winning streak in Wimbledon as he lost against Carlos Alcaraz in the final.? Rivalries Over the years, Djokovic had numerous rivalries on-court against top-tier players. But, his match-ups against Federer, Nadal, and Andy Murray always enthralled fans and turned out to be engaging to watch. Out of the three big opponents Djokovic has had over the years, it was his rivalry with Nadal that stands out. The duo played 59 matches against each other on the ATP tour, and Djokovic leads the tally by winning 30 contests.

REUTERS/Sarah Meyssonnier Their most recent interaction came at the quarterfinals of the 2022 French Open. In an engaging three-set battle, the Spaniard breezed past the Serb and went on to clinch the Roland Garros title. Coming to Djokovic&#8217;s rivalry with Federer, it can be considered one of the most entertaining rivalries on the ATP tour. The duo had numerous close battles, but it is the Serb who takes the pivotal lead once again. Both Federer and Djokovic played 50 times on tour, with Djokovic winning 27 matches. Their most recent contest came in the semifinals of the 2020 Australian Open. Djokovic easily defeated Federer in straight sets. Against Murray, Djokovic had a rather comfortable rivalry as he was clearly the dominating player whenever they entered a tennis court. There were instances where Murray took control, but overall, it was the Serbian star who led the head-to-head with 25 victories compared to Murray&#8217;s 11.
