According to Simon himself, he acts as a consultant. The former tennis player sends advice to Medvedev, and he can follow it or refuse.
Medvedev recounted how he survived defeat to Sinner in Australian Open final
“There are a lot of tournaments per year, there are tournaments where Gilles (Servara) cannot go for various reasons, naturally, he cannot travel with me 365 days a year. I often traveled with my physical trainer Eric Well, I decided to try someone – add to the team to, let’s say, improve some aspects that are not yet good enough in my game, try. Well, that’s an outside view.
I don’t want to give him (Gilles Simon) precise definitions, like “coach”, “consultant” etc., no. This is just another person from the team who, along with everyone else, will try to make me win tournaments and win more matches, play better.” – quotes the words of the Russian tennis player on the telegram channel ” Game Set Max. Tennis”.
Recall that in 2024 Medvedev has already reached the final of the Grand Slam tournament. In the final of the Australian Open, the Russian lost to the Italian Jannik Sinner.
