Daniil Medvedev is a tennis player who has gotten the public accustomed to top performances, and when you set the bar so high, it's clear that the public expects top results from you week after week.
However, the Russian tennis player faced many obstacles this year, having one of the worst seasons of his career. As the 18th ranked tennis player in the world, many are worried about his future and ask various questions.
What is the reason for the bad form of the Russian tennis player? A large number of analysts and experts share their opinion, among them the legend of Russian tennis Yevgeny Kafelnikov.
He spoke openly about being a guest on the 'Hard Court'.

Russian tennis star Elena Dementieva asked Kafelnikov why he keeps pointing out that Medvedev trains less and where he got that information.
The 51-year-old is uncertain about Medvedev's long-term goals, believing he has lost motivation and desire to play tennis over the years.
Nevertheless, the Russian legend hopes that Daniil will take some things more seriously in the continuation of his career and be as dominant as in previous seasons.
Kafelnikov used himself as an example, stressing that he stopped training at one stage of his career.
New coaching team
While some are skeptical of the Russian tennis legend's words, Kafelnikov finds it disappointing that Daniil hasn't won a title in three years. These messages may be very important for the 29-year-old, whom Kafelnikov believes needs to "wake up".
