Daniil Medvedev has said his split from long-term coach Gilles Cervara was a “turning point” as the two-time Australian Open runner-up returns to Melbourne having rediscovered his form following a difficult 2025 season.
Former world No 1 Medvedev failed to advance past the second round of a grand slam last season and his split from French coach Cervara came after an extraordinary on-court meltdown during his first-round defeat at the US Open in August.
