Daria Medvedeva’s connection to tennis runs deeper than just being a famous player’s wife. A childhood player herself, her dreams of turning pro were cut short by injuries. She first met Medvedev at just 12, while dining with her team at a café near the tennis courts.
Medvedev married his wife in an intimate ceremony in Moscow in 2018. Nearly four years later, the couple welcomed their daughter Alisa, completing their family. Alisa has often charmed fans with her cute actions online, thanks to her mother, who captures and shares those moments.
The 2-year-old was recently captured on video by her mother as she played tennis on an indoor court. She stood near the net, holding her tiny Tecnifibre racket in front of her face, gently tapping the ball back as it came her way. Delighted by the experience, she even ran a full circle around the net before returning to her original spot.
Daria Medvedeva shared the clip on her Instagram story, which a user re-shared on X. Check out the video shared below:
