Daniil Medvedev: “I fell in love with football & Bayern when I was 12. It started right there. But I liked Bayern a lot before that.

Daniil Medvedev and his interactions with Bayern Munich
Medvedev has used his chances to mention about Bayern Munich on the court. It has resulted in multiple conversations between the club and him. The world No.4 is a fan of Mario Gomez and still chooses the number 33 when wearing shirts. Gomez used to wear the jersey number 33 while playing for Bayern Munich. Gomez is Medvedev’s favorite player.
The 2021 US Open champion even gave a shoutout to the German Club four years back. Medvedev wrote “Mia San Mia” on the camera as a tribute to the club winning its sixth UEFA Champions League. In 2022, Medvedev was seen juggling the tennis ball on the court, and the caption read that he was ready for the club.“We see you” was the response the club gave, along with five stars for the juggling.
Medvedev: “I always use number 33 for shirts because I’m such a big fan of Mario Gomez. He did such great things when he played for Bayern – I loved him so much. He was by far my absolute favorite player and because of him alone 33 is my favorite number.”
