Daniil Medvedev made a promise to his wife after his loss to Jannik Sinner in the Australian Open (Image: Eurosport) Daniil Medvedev has the opportunity to fulfil an emotional promise to his wife Daria and his daughter Alisa when he faces Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon . The Russian has been drawn to face the No 1 seed at SW19 following his walkover victory over Grigor Dimitrov , who had to retire before the end of the first set. An ominous quarter-final clash against the Italian now awaits the Russian, who reached the semi-final at SW19 last year, losing to Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets.
As well as the desire to make up for his disappointing showing against the Spaniard, Medvedev also has another source of motivation for his clash against the Australian Open winner. At the start of the year, Medvedev thought he was about to win his first Australian Open final when he won the first two sets 6-3. But Sinner came roaring back, winning the next three sets 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 to lift the Grand Slam Down Under .
In his post-match speech, Medvedev promised his young family that he would avenge his third Australian Open final defeat and win a slam the next time he's in a final.
