Daniil Medvedev has eight titles won at the tournaments of the Association of Professional Tennis Players. However, his main goal was to win the Grand Slam tournament. In 2019, Medvedev was close to this and reached the final, but lost to Rafael Nadal at the game in New York. He won the tournament only on his third attempt in 2021.

Daniil became famous among fans not only because of his outstanding results, but also because of his emotional behavior on the court. So, in moments of high tension, Medvedev broke rackets more than once, was once fined for unsportsmanlike behavior, and in 2017 threw several coins in the direction of the referee, expressing his disagreement with the refereeing. Despite this, the fans fully support the athlete and note that such outbursts only make the game more emotional and exciting.
