Medvedev won the heart of the luxurious Russian tennis player. An amazing love story!
Daniel dedicates all his victories to his beloved woman. And she helps him win and earn money.
Daniil Medvedev defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open semi-finals and will now face Novak Djokovic for his second Grand Slam title. This victory, like many others, is credited to coach Gilles Cervare, but Medvedev himself admits that the main co-author of his success is another person.
Daniil’s wife Daria was completely focused on helping her loved one. Long before he became the best in the world.
“We had dinner, celebrated, talked”
Daniil and Daria met through tennis. Both shined as juniors and were considered one of the most promising players in Russia at their age. Teenagers went to youth competitions and sometimes met each other at training camps.
At the age of 18, Medvedeva (nee Chernyshkova) had to give up sports due to injuries. Saying goodbye to tennis was very difficult; for a long time the girl could not even look at the racket. Danya supported Dasha during a difficult period for her: he constantly wrote to her on social networks, talked about his successes, and then got the blonde’s number and began calling her periodically.
The couple’s relationship took a new turn when Dasha needed a dress from Nice. Danya was living with his parents in Antibes at the time, and having learned that his friend was very close, he decided to invite her first to a romantic dinner, and then to his upcoming birthday.
“And so my mother sent me to get a dress.” And Dani had a birthday around the same time. I flew in for a couple of days, we had dinner, celebrated, and talked. Since then, everything began to somehow develop,” Daria said in an interview with Tatler.
And from that moment they did not part. The athletes even joke that Dasha’s mother and that very dress became the reason for their relationship.
Made an offer
The guys dated for a long time, but for a long time Daniil did not dare to take the most important step in life – marriage. While the former tennis player was building a career on television, Medvedev was already confidently in the top 50 of the world rankings. Unexpectedly, Chernyshkova was offered a business trip to China for three months, and the athlete was starting an American series of tournaments. Medvedev had to make an important male decision: either let Dasha develop her career, or offer to share her life with him. Daniil made a choice that he never regretted – on September 12, 2018, the young people signed their names at the Kutuzovsky registry office in Moscow.
After the wedding, the athlete’s wife began to accompany him on all his trips, and the career of the best tennis player in Russia took off. Danya himself admits that although he sometimes lashes out at Dasha during matches, it is she who has become the main pillar and support in his life. It is only thanks to his wife that he wins and plays for her.
— Before I made the offer, I was in 65th place in the ranking, and then in ten months I won two major tournaments and entered the top 10. We have greatly restructured our lives, we work for each other: I earn money, and Dasha helps me earn more,” Daniil told Vogue.
“These emotions cannot be compared with any title”
After last year’s Australian Open final, in which Medvedev lost to Rafael Nadal, Dani experienced a serious decline. The tennis player sensationally lost to obviously weaker opponents, and Daria stopped appearing in the stands. Fans even assumed that the spouses had quarreled and this was affecting the game. But the reason turned out to be completely different: the Medvedevs were expecting a child, so it was unsafe for Dasha to fly around the world. Although she followed Dani’s play in online broadcasts, this was not enough for the tennis player. But as soon as the couple’s daughter Alisa was born, Medvedev’s career took off again. Just two weeks after the birth of his daughter, the tennis player won a tournament in Vienna and dedicated the victory to his girls.
“I dedicate this victory to my wife, because she gave me the most wonderful gift – our daughter.” These emotions cannot be compared with any title. Dasha, thank you very much,” Medvedev said during the award ceremony.
Now the tennis player has another opportunity to demonstrate his endless love for his daughter and wife. Danya heroically reached the US Open final and, if he beats Djokovic, he will be able to give Dasha a nice gift for her five-year wedding anniversary.
The final match of the US Open 2023 between Medvedev and Djokovic will take place on Sunday, September 10, and will begin on the court in New York at 23:00 Moscow time.

Yulia Starodubtseva – Ayla Tomlyanovich. Prediction and announcement for the Australian Open match
On November 19, Yulia Starodubtseva (WTA 110) and Ayla Tomljanovic (WTA 76) will start competing at the Australian Open.
The meeting is planned to start at 08.00 Kyiv time.
Sport.ua together with a betting partner bet announcing the upcoming fight!
Yulia Starodubtseva
The Ukrainian athlete has already played six matches this season and won five of them. Starodubtseva started with a tournament held in Auckland, where she successfully qualified by beating Frenchwoman Ponchet and Austrian Tagger. Katie Boulter suffered defeat in the first round of the main round.
The tennis player also started the Australian Open with the qualifiers, where she beat the Frenchwoman Tubello 6:2, 3:6, 6:0. Then there were victories against the Greek Papamikhail, 6:1, 6:2. In the qualifying final, Starodubtseva defeated Bulgarian Tomova with sets 7:6, 6:2. The Ukrainian player is in good form ahead of this season’s first Grand Slam.
Ayla Tomljanovic
The Australian athlete is a typical middle player in world tennis. Even though there are breaks, it has been in the top 100 for a long time. Tomlyanovich is 32 years old, he can already be considered a veteran. Although the Australian Open is a tennis player’s home tournament, he performs worst here because he has never been able to advance beyond the second round.
Tomljanovic started this season with a tournament in Brisbane, where she defeated France’s Jacquemo with scores of 6:1, 6:3 and then lost in a tough fight to the powerful Carolina Muchova with scores of 6:4, 1:6, 6:7. There was also a tournament in Adelaide where they managed to beat Clara Towson 7:6, and the opponent refused. Ayla, who was ahead 2:0 in the first set of the second round, withdrew from the match due to a knee injury at 40:40 in her serve. It is unclear at this time whether he is 100% physically ready.
personal meetings
Tennis players met only once, it was in September last year, then in Beijing Tomljanovic managed to win in two sets: 7:6 and 6:2.
To guess
This couple does not have a clear favorite, maybe it will be easier for the Australian, the public will support him, his body is more accustomed to such a time zone. For tennis players at this level, every victory in a major is extremely valuable.
I am waiting for a difficult and unpredictable match that can end with any outcome, I will bet on more than 20.5 matches for 1.66.

spanish tennis player Carlos AlcarazThe team, ranked No. 1 in the world, is off to a strong start at the 2026 Australian Open.
Spaniards in the first round Adam Walton (Australia, ATP 79) 2 hours 8 minutes.
Australian Open 2026. 1/64 finals
Carlos Alcaraz (Spain) [1] – Adam Walton (Australia) – 6:3, 7:6 (7:2), 6:2
Alcaraz played their second head-to-head match against Walton. In 2025, Carlos defeated Adam in the 1/16 final of the competition in London.
Alcaraz got his first win in 2026. Carlos managed to reach the second round of the Australian Open for the fifth time in his career.
Alcaraz became the fourth player in the Open Era to win the opening match in each of the first 20 Grand Slam singles matches. Previously this was done by Arthur Ashe, Bjorn Borg and Rafael Nadal.
Carlitos’ next opponent will be Jannik Sinner’s namesake, Hanfmann. Sinner, on the other hand, is on the opposite side of the group, taking second place, and it is possible for them to meet Alcaraz only in the final. The Italian player will start the big tournament in Melbourne on January 20 with a fight against Hugo Gaston.
