Alright, let’s talk about something that crossed my mind recently. I was watching some tennis, saw Medvedev playing, and thought, “Hang on, who’s actually coaching this guy?” You see these players with their teams, but sometimes the main person behind the scenes isn’t always obvious.

So, my first step, pretty standard stuff, I went over to my computer. Could’ve used my phone, I guess, but I was already sitting at my desk.
I opened up a search page. Nothing fancy. Just typed in something simple like ‘who is medvedev coach’ or maybe it was ‘daniil medvedev coach name’. Something along those lines, you know?
Hit enter and boom, a whole list of stuff came up. News articles, sports sites, fan pages, the usual mix. I started clicking around a bit, reading snippets here and there.
It didn’t take long, honestly. One name kept appearing consistently across different sources. You see it mentioned in interviews, match reports, analysis pieces.
The Name I Found
The name that kept popping up was Gilles Cervara. Seems like he’s the main guy, the one Medvedev’s been working with for a good while now.

- I saw mentions of their long partnership.
- Read about how Cervara travels with him most of the time.
- Found some bits about their working relationship.
It seems Cervara has been with Medvedev since his earlier days on tour, which is pretty cool. Sticking together through thick and thin, basically.
So yeah, that was my little discovery process. Just a simple search prompted by watching a match. Took maybe five minutes? Pretty straightforward stuff to find out who’s guiding Medvedev from the sidelines. It’s interesting how quickly you can get this info nowadays.
