It was impossible for Daniil Medvedev to imitate a goal celebration from a football video game to win his first Grand Slam.

In their 2021 US Open final against Novak Djokovic, those who didn’t play Fifa had no idea why Medvedev fell to the court like a dead fish.

He told the New York crowd, “Only legends will understand: What I did was L2+left.”

There were plenty of confused looks among the laughs. However, Medvedev is still regarded as one of the most engaging players in modern gaming because of this amusing and authentic reaction.

As he prepares to face one of his career’s most testing periods, many fans will be rooting for the 29-year-old Russian at this year’s US Open.

The unwavering Medvedev, who dropped out of the top ten in the world, maintains a huge following.

Medvedev is viewed as a breath of fresh air because many athletes are reluctant to display excessive personality, a fact that has started to change with the advent of social media.

He stated to BBC Sport last month at Wimbledon that “I just try to be myself.”

“I’m happy if some people find me interesting.

Some people might perceive me as boring, which is acceptable. It’s not necessary for me to be funny.

Being myself is the simplest way to be because people will see through it and lose themselves if you act too much.

He was taken aback when the ATP Tour gave him a book of encouraging social media comments earlier this year.

One fan criticized him for “broke the mold” of how players act in front of the camera, while others praised his “natural” personality, humor, and “charisma which nobody else can match.”

Does Medvedev share those feelings, especially given that he carried the gift on his summer travels with him?

He grinned and said, “I think so.” I believe my friends would think of me as a pleasant companion.

Medvedev is approachable, polite, and frequently smiles when he speaks.

In contrast, his on-court persona is frequently ferocious and gnarly during battles.

He was fined more than £60, 000 for abusing a net camera at the Australian Open this year after destroying a camera with his racquet.

Previous offenses included being disciplined for yelling at line officials, swiping towels from ball boys, and “flipping the bird” at fans.

Medvedev, who is currently ranked 13th in the world, attributes the pressure of his job to his portrayal of Jekyll and Hyde.

It’s unusual to have my adrenaline so high off the court that it explodes.

I “love to win” when I’m on the court. The match’s victory is where I want to go first, which exudes a lot of adrenaline and energy.

It can also be good energy at times. It can be a bad one at times.

We are not competing for anything when I talk to you, in a good way. I’m a pretty different person in terms of life from the court because of that.

Medvedev acknowledges that there are “a lot” of times when he regrets the emotional spillovers into unfavorable behavior.

He said, “I always say it’s like when people honk on the road on the road, like when I’m driving on the road.”

“I can’t honk on the court, but I would if I could, and I would never scream or anything like that.”

In recent weeks, Medvedev has been honking frequently, metaphorically speaking.

Medvedev is out of the top 10 for the second time in six years because his previously piercing serve is still eluded and his unwavering ability to keep his composure in baseline matches diminishing.

The funk he finds himself in is best illustrated by his only victories from this year’s three Grand Slams.

Even his return to the hard courts in North America, where he has excelled over the years, has not resulted in a rise in results.

He responded to the ATP website by asking what the solution was, “I could find ten reasons, but I couldn’t decide which one was the main reason.”

We only make an effort to improve, the saying goes. So we sat down with the team. Where can things be improved? What can be altered? We talked about some issues, and I’m going to try to put it into practice.

There appear to be little chance of another New York victory. Don’t bet against another celebration that is computer game-inspired, though, if he does manage to achieve a surprise renaissance.

“It cost me and my entire family what to drink.”

Tommy Fury’s first episode of a BBC documentary explains why his public split with Molly-Mae Hague took place.

The boxer, whose popularity increased when he visited Love Island in 2019, is by himself in his own “big” house.

It appears in a graphic that states that Bambi and Hague’s young daughter have left in 110 days.

Fury started being accused of cheating and causing another woman to become pregnant when Hague made the announcement that they were breaking up in August 2024.

Fury refutes all of these “disgusting” claims, and he reveals that he started drinking heavily after having a long-term hand injury operation.

Tommy and Tyson’s father, John Fury, both claim to have left their sons; according to John Fury, the father of both.

Fury tells BBC Sport, “Many of my hardest times have been captured in this documentary.”

The documentary focuses on navigating difficult times.

What’s it like in a real boxing match, behind the scenes.

And how challenging it is to balance both a family man’s and professional life.

Fury’s recovery from mental health issues and excessive drinking is followed in the documentary.

The Englishman attributes his greatest success to boxing and his daughter Bambi, who he calls “the best thing in my life.”

And it was confirmed that Fury and Hague had reconciled in May of this year.

“Training was my escape,” I said. No matter what was going on, Fury says, “I would always feel amazing coming out of the gym.”

“My relationship with boxing has always been this way. I’m still hungry, and my goals are the same.

I’m still training three times per day and running at four or five in the morning. The hunger persists.

“I wouldn’t have what I have in my life if it weren’t for boxing.”

Boxing has opened each and every door for me. Boxing is where I owe my life.

Fury’s path has been unusual for him in boxing.

When Fury first appeared on Love Island, the Mancunian had two professional fights under his belt, but with his fame and the emergence of influencer boxing, he entered that arena.

He claims that despite his repeated goals, he still aspires to one day be a world champion.

He states, “I am 26 years old, I believe I have the talent to do this; I just need the experience and the time,” “I am.”

However, KSI and Jake Paul, both YouTubers, have been Fury’s biggest foes. One of the most highly marketable fighters in the sport is Paul, who has a regular fight against him.

Fury is not excluding any further crossover fights, despite his goals to establish himself as a top contender at cruiserweight after beating Paul by split decision in a lucrative fight in 2023.

Before Fury pulled out of the fight, the Englishman was scheduled to fight Darren Till, an ex-UFC star, earlier this year in a boxing match.

When he defeated Kenan Hanjalic in Budapest in May, he bounced back from an 18-month absence from the ring.

Fury is prepared to fight in a rematch now that Paul has a six-fight winning streak since taking on Fury.

A distinctive character, Jake Paul. He is performing well. No hostility or jealousy are present, Fury claims.

He is “making big waves,” he said, “and good luck to him.” I’m carrying out my duties.

“I’m here, I’m prepared, but I’m not pleading for a fight,” the message read. I’ve carried out my duties. He has the loss, while I have the win.

He knows where I am any day he wants to make a change.
