Tennis, like life, has no memory, and heroes of the past can quickly turn into villains. That seems to be what has happened in the relationship between Daniil Medvedev and his former coach, Gilles Cervara, with whom he achieved glory. Several months after their relationship abruptly ended, the Russian has subtly criticized the Frenchman during a press conference at the ATP 250 Brisbane 2026.

To ventilate a stifled atmosphere, refresh an unbreathable relationship, change the rhythm to find new solutions. That is exactly what Daniil Medvedev did a few months ago when, after hitting rock bottom in terms of his tennis level and on-court attitude, he decided to part ways with Gilles Cervara, the man who shaped his entire progression to becoming a Grand Slam champion and world number 1. The feeling is that the French coach had noticed the need for Medvedev to make a drastic change in playing style, being much more aggressive on the court, and the Russian was unconvinced by this.

Medvedev states that his new coaches understand his tennis and do not try to change his style

This suspicion is supported by the Russian's words during the press conference at the ATP 250 Brisbane 2026, a tournament where he has reached the quarterfinals. "I love working with Thomas Johansson and Rohan Goetzke because I feel they fully grasp what my playing style is and they respect it. We are working hard to improve certain aspects, such as my serve and volley, while maintaining my own essence. I am very happy with the instructions they give me on the court and the way they perceive my tennis," explained the Russian player, indirectly criticizing Cervara.

It is true that since changing his coaching team, there have been positive signs in Daniil Medvedev's game, which are being confirmed at the start of this season. "I feel very fresh physically and mentally. I had a great preseason, and I believe I have left behind the fatigue issues I had last year when I was forced to play many matches after losing ranking points when I didn't feel in top form. I feel confident heading into the 2026 Australian Open," concluded the Russian player, who will be aiming for the title at the ATP 250 Brisbane 2026.
