Medvedev ends his period with Thomas Johansson

Daniil Medvedev moves again to recover his best form. As journalist Sofya Tartakova exclusively reports, the Russian has ended his professional relationship with Thomas Johansson, the coach who joined his team after the split with Gilles Cervara. So far, no further changes in the environment of the former world number one have been disclosed.

The split comes after months marked by numerous ups and downs. Johansson's arrival seemed to have an immediate effect at the beginning of the season, with Medvedev regaining some of his competitiveness and delivering very convincing performances, especially in Dubai and Indian Wells, where he once again hinted at being close to rediscovering his best tennis.

However, the clay court swing and the subsequent grass season brought back doubts. The results fell short of expectations, and the Russian once again struggled to compete at the highest level on the big stages, culminating in a disappointing exit at Wimbledon.

The new coach for Medvedev is still unknown

Beyond results, Medvedev's attitude on court has also not seen the expected improvement. The constant displays of frustration, dialogues with his team, and emotional ups and downs have remained constant over the past months, a factor that may have influenced the decision to end this chapter.

The split marks a new twist in the search for solutions for a player who has been away from the consistency that made him US Open champion and world number one for too long. After closing a long cycle with Cervara, Johansson seemed like the ideal figure to bring a fresh perspective to his project, but the collaboration lasted only a few months.

Now, Medvedev faces another decisive moment in his career. With the North American hard court swing around the corner, the Russian must find a new direction if he wants to regain the lost prominence and compete head-to-head with the top players on the circuit.
