Daniil Medvedev: “I’m probably going to play only Australian Open, going to try to have more of a vacation time than usual”
Following his semifinal exit at the ATP Finals, Daniil Medvedev disclosed his plans to indulge in some vacation time with his wife Daria, for the first time in four to five years.
“Every year was different. To be honest, I haven’t been on like off-season vacation as some players. You never know. One time I had Davis Cup. Last year we had a small baby, so… I was straightaway back to the duties. This year we’re going to go with my wife to the islands. First time in maybe four, five years,” Medvedev said in his press conference.
“She doesn’t like it too much there because there is not much to do. But for me, that’s perfect after a hectic season. I love it,” he added.
The Russian also revealed his intention to break away from his usual schedule by skipping all preparatory tournaments and commencing his 2024 season directly at the Australian Open.
“I’m probably going to play only Australian Open. Going to try like this to have more of a vacation time than usual and more of a (indiscernible) off-season time and start with a Slam straightaway, which is going to be new for me. But let’s see,” Medvedev said.
