Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev are great friends and they like to make fun of each other. During a recent entertaining exchange during Tennis United, Daniil revealed that Andrey is not happy when people believe he is Jannik Sinner because they have similar hair.
Daniil revealed:
“Andrey gets really, really angry if you call him Jannik because he looks like Jannik Sinner a little bit. During this Australian Open he comes into the locker room and I said, ‘Hi Jannik, how are you?’ He got angry, he went away for 10 minutes, came back 10 minutes later, and goes, ‘You are Davydenko then!'”
These are the little funny things that happen in a locker room.
Medvedev: Andrey always gets angry when he is called Jannik, because he looks like Sinner a bit (because of hair!). During USO, when I said to him "hey, Jannik! how are you?", he got angry and went away, then came back 10 minutes later, and said "you're Davydenko!!" 🤣.@atptour pic.twitter.com/6hMDKuAlyF
