Daniil Medvedev talks about how constant travel impacts his bond with his daughter Alisa
Daniil Medvedev spoke about the hard realities of being away from his daughter Alisa after advancing to the third round of the French Open due to a walkover win against Miomir Kecmanovic.
Medvedev acknowledged that his wife Daria bore most of the parenting duties, and thus, she learned from their daughter in ways he couldn't.
"Let's be honest, when you're a tennis player, you can talk as much as you want about kids, you don't see them that often. You travel around the world so it's more my wife that tries to teach her things and maybe our daughter teaches her patience," Daniil Medvedev said on the Tennis Channel.
Medvedev revealed that his frequent absences affect his daughter, who often conceals her true personality around him, even when they are together.-
"Me, I'm there less than my wife so I think my daughter feels it. So, with me she is, when we're together, she's not having too much of a character, she's just going by the flow," the Russian said.
"And I like to make jokes with my wife, 'You told me she was screaming earlier but she's fine.' It is what it is. I try to spend as much time as possible with her and it's a fun time," he added.
Fifth seed Daniil Medvedev will face Tomas Machac in the third round on June 1.
Ben Shelton reflects on dealing with hostile college tennis fans
Ben Shelton shared his ordeal of facing personal insults from the crowd during his college tennis career.
After advancing to the French Open third round with a walkover win over Kei Nishikori, Shelton revealed that fans often made personal remarks about his family, girlfriend, and past internet posts.
"I mean I'm not going to say the things that the guys said to me but obviously the favorite topics when you're playing college tennis - they'll talk about your family, they'll talk about your girlfriend and anything that you've ever posted on the internet," Shelton said in his post-match press conference.

The American also mentioned that he had not encountered such hostility from the crowd since joining the ATP tour.
