“It is cameras throughout you, everywhere in the day. That is not me,” Medvedev mentioned. “After I’m on court docket, I attempt to signal a variety of autographs. Even if you happen to’re within the official inns otherwise you’re out on a vacation, lots of people camp exterior the inns. And it is high quality, I signal, I take photos.”
The Russian says he likes to maintain clear strains of demarcation between his skilled and his private life, and particularly now that he has children. He doesn’t wish to be bothered when he’s into his very precious private area.
He expressed related sentiments when speaking in regards to the Netflix collection “Break Level” in 2024. “I did not watch it and doubtless won’t as a result of I am going to get annoyed most likely,” he mentioned with a smile. “I haven’t got a lot so as to add as a result of, yeah, collection isn’t actual life.”

“After I’m having dinner, after I’m with my household I do not [sign autographs] he mentioned. “Persons are like, ‘Oh, let’s take a photograph,’ after I’m consuming dinner. And I am like, ‘Nope.’ After dinners it is okay. I could be fairly impolite with my private area.”
Giving a documentary crew full entry to his life could be too loopy for the previous World No.1.
“If I give it to the documentary I’ll get nuts, particularly if you give your permission to them, they need extra,” he mentioned. “They wish to movie your daughters, they wish to movie your spouse, they wish to ask them questions, they wish to ask you extra about your private life.”
Medvedev loves his followers, however he doesn’t need them to step over the road with him and his household.
“They wish to know who you date, what you might have for dinner, if you happen to take your bathe for five or quarter-hour. However that you must hold one thing for your self, in any other case they take all of your life away. In order that’s most likely why I’ll by no means do a documentary, however let’s have a look at, I by no means say by no means.”
