Medvedev has no idol: "I am Daniil Medvedev".

Daniil Medvedev is not a classic player.

A sure thing on the ATP circuit, the Russian doesn't mince his words.

Asked about his childhood idols, Medvedev explained that, in his opinion, there should be none: "People always ask me if I had an idol.

I've loved a lot of players, but an idol? I'm Daniil Medvedev.

Whether I become a top-10 player or not, I'm still Daniil Medvedev. I'd say I'm my own idol.

I live this life, why should I idolize anyone else? I'd say: 'Live as you live, what happens, happens'.

In the end, everything went very well, and I'm happy about that. There were a lot of difficult moments, happy moments and sad moments.

Sometimes you cry, sometimes you laugh, but that's part of life.

So there's no message to give, just live and move on."
