Daniil Medvedev and his longtime coach Gilles Cervara have ended their eight-year partnership following a difficult 2025 season marked by declining results and on-court controversies, including Medvedev's first-round loss at the US Open and a subsequent fine for unsportsmanlike behavior. Cervara, who was instrumental in Medvedev achieving the world No. 1 ranking and winning 20 titles including the 2021 US Open, expressed gratitude for their shared journey and confidence in Medvedev's potential to regain his form. Medvedev also thanked Cervara for his guidance and support throughout their collaboration, highlighting the memorable moments they shared. The split was mutual, with Cervara acknowledging the need for change to reinvigorate Medvedev's energy and performance.
