This week in Dubai, watch Daniil Medvedev's box. For the first time, Gilles Simon will appear there, he who has worked in the shadows with the Russian since December 2023. He will be alongside Gilles Cervara, also French, who has been training the Russian since 2017.
“I thought of Gilles Simon for multiple reasons: he knows tennis well, everyone knows it, and he beat me by outwitting me,” Medvedev said at a press conference. This is also one of the reasons that pushed him to call the former 6th player in the world, as Gilles Simon told Le Figaro a few days earlier. The Russian, winner of the 2021 US Open, lost three of his four confrontations with Gilles Simon, former sixth in the world who retired as a player at the end of the 2022 season.
“Together, the two Gilles will be able to discuss what he (Simon) was doing to put me in difficulty to see what we need to work on in training. So far, I like it,” continued the former world number one, stressing that he and Gilles Simon had “a bit of the same mentality”.
Medvedev regrets having favored the Grand Slam tournaments too much last year after an early elimination in Australia (3rd round when he lost in the final in 2022), at the expense of other tournaments in the second half of the season.
“In tournaments other than the Grand Slams, I have not managed to find the fire necessary to win against the best players in the world,” the 28-year-old admitted on Monday. This is also what I want to work on this year in order to give a thousand percent in the Grand Slam tournaments, but also have enough energy in the other tournaments,” he explained. He begins his campaign for a 21st title on the circuit on Tuesday in Dubai, facing Kazakh Alexander Shevchenko (47th).
For Gilles Simon, this will be a first return to the ATP circuit since his final match at the Rolex Paris Masters in November 2022. At the same time, he will discover this role of coach, which he has never experienced until now (at professional level, Editor’s note).
