Medvedev dedicates title win to wife after becoming father (VIDEO)

The Russian tennis star was victorious at the Vienna Open on Sunday

Former men’s tennis world number one Daniil Medvedev clinched the Vienna Open on Sunday and dedicated the title to his wife Daria, who gave birth to their daughter a fortnight ago.

Medvedev came from behind to beat Denis Shapovalov 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 and claim his second tour-level title of the 2022 season.

“I am really happy,” Medvedev said after his win. “This match was the best of the week because Denis was really playing unreal until probably 4-3 in the second set. 

“He dropped his level by maybe 2% and I was able to use it. This is one of the best victories when you know your opponent is on top of you, but you try and stay there and do what you can.”

The ATP site said Medvedev had looked “back to his very best” over the course of a week, not dropping a set until the final.
