Daniil Medvedev\u2019s decision to make a switch-up in his coaching team has certainly worked out so far. <\/p>\n

After crashing out of the 2025 US Open in the first round, Medvedev parted ways with Gilles Cervara<\/a>, his coach of eight years who guided him to a maiden Grand Slam title. <\/p>\n

The Russian was criticised for his decision, with former world number one Yevgeny Kafelnikov claiming the change would not \u2018bring much benefit<\/a>\u2018.<\/p>\n

However, since Medvedev<\/a> appointed both Thomas Johansson and\u00a0Rohan Goetzke, he has recorded a number of impressive results.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old reached the semifinals of both the China Open and the Shanghai Masters, before winning his first ATP<\/a> title in over two years at the Almaty Open. <\/p>\n

Over a month after splitting with Cervara, Medvedev has now revealed the current status of his relationship with his former coach. <\/p>\n

Daniil Medvedev discusses his old coach after winning in Almaty<\/p>\n

When asked in an interview with \u2018Sport Express<\/a>\u2018 if Cervara congratulated him after his triumph in Almaty, Medvedev said: \u201cGilles and I aren\u2019t in touch.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s perfectly normal. We\u2019re on great terms, but I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll keep in touch.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he starts working with someone, we\u2019ll probably see each other at tournaments. Maybe we\u2019ll talk there.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd on the phone? That\u2019s a closed chapter for both of us. I don\u2019t even know if he\u2019ll write. He probably will. We\u2019ll see. I haven\u2019t seen him yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

From 2017 to 2025, Medvedev won 20 ATP titles with Cervara in his corner, with triumphs across all three surfaces. <\/p>\n

After winning his first crown in Sydney during the 2018 season, Medvedev quickly climbed the rankings, and became one of the world\u2019s best players alongside Cervara. <\/p>\n

Together, they clinched the US Open, six Masters 1000 titles, the year-end ATP Finals title, as well as four titles at ATP 500 level, and eight ATP 250s.<\/p>\n

In 2022, Medvedev also secured world number one status, becoming the first player not named Roger Federer<\/a>, Rafael Nadal<\/a>, Novak Djokovic<\/a> or Andy Murray<\/a> to occupy the top spot since 2004. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us on Google Discover Daniil Medvedev\u2019s decision to make a switch-up in his coaching team has certainly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":195415,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[430,26603,99,428],"class_list":["post-239214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-atp","tag-daniil-medvedev","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=239214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/239214\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/195415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=239214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=239214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=239214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
