The 2021 US Open champion also took pictures with the youngsters and signed some autographs. He certainly seemed quite popular with the younger kids despite the older generations being more inclined to boo him for his crowd teasing.
The aspiring tennis juniors who attend Kids Day keep lifetime memories of meeting one of their favorite players and top stars on the ATP Tour. The occasion is also important in promoting tennis to the newer generation of fans, as it has the potential to ignite interest in the sport.
Medvedev has only played in two tournaments while recovering from a hernia operation. He competed on the clay courts of Geneva and Roland Garros. He is already aware that he won't compete at Wimbledon later this month because of the ban instituted against Russian and Belarusian players.
