One fan pointed out that it was similar to the one Novak Djokovic wore at the Australian Open. The fan said, “Just realized Lacoste literally just swapped over the color schemes for Novak and Med from their AO ones, doing the bare minimum.” Medvedev’s blue shirt and white shorts have been a nightmare for fans. Djokovic had got the same response for his kit in Melbourne last month.

Medvedev will be playing at Indian Wells for the sixth time, having reached the finals last year. He might rethink his kit before making a return to the tour. Medvedev is known for his distinctive stroke-making and does not have much of a liking for fashion. But players have suggested different styles for him.
Dane Sweeny reveals the perfect hairstyle for Daniil Medvedev
Dane Sweeny has been one of the rising players from Australia this season. He made his grand slam debut at the Australian Open this season. Sweeny has regularly played at the ATP Challengers events and recently played in India in Bengaluru. The world No. 218 has become a fan favorite because of his looks on the court.
Sweeny has a classic hairstyle, which is a mullet. He is one of the players with JJ Wolf to sport a mullet on the court. Sweeny suggested the same for Medvedev and thought it would look good on him. He said,” I think Daniil Medvedev, it would just go with his unorthodox game style.” Sweeny mentioned how mullets that look worse are better.
The 23-year-old is yet to play against Medvedev on the tour. He can suggest that the world No. 4 try out different hairstyles when they meet on the tour. Meanwhile, Sweeny will aim to enter the top 100 rankings this year. Medvedev will be eager to claim his spot in the top three rankings. He will also try to change the outfits before playing in Indian Wells in March.
