The tennis star, along with other Russian and Belarusians at the Games, has to compete as a neutral following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. “When I’m 40, if I can say I played in the Tokyo Olympics, Paris Olympics and Los Angeles Olympics, I had a lot of fun in my life, my career, I’m going to be happy,” said Medvedev.The 1.98m giant came close to being disqualified from his Wimbledon semi-final against Carlos Alcaraz this month for a foul-mouthed rant at the chair umpire, before escaping with a warning.His explosive temperament has seen him feud with rivals Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev.
Germany’s Zverev lashed out at Medvedev for taking a bathroom break at a key moment in the tie, blasting the Russian as “one of the most unfair players in the world”.In the Netflix series “Break Point”, Zverev accused Medvedev of playing “dirty games” and added: “He’s somebody that knows how to play with the head of the opponent”.At the Paris Masters last year, he branded fans “stupid” for jeering during one of his matches.
At the 2021 US Open he claimed his only major title, easily defeating Novak Djokovic in the final and denying the Serb a rare calendar Grand Slam. When he spent 16 weeks as world number one in 2022, he was the first man other than Djokovic, Federer, Murray and Nadal in 18 years to attain top spot.
