Daniil Medvedev is very busy, but he took the time to practice with 14-year-old talent Ksenia Efremova.
Video of Efremova making Medvedev hit the net during practice:
Ksenia Efremova, 14 years old, born in Moscow (Russia) is expected to become the new Maria Sharapova, because she is highly appreciated for her talent.
Efremova showed off her training situation with Medvedev on her personal Instagram
Although she is a relatively unfamiliar name to world tennis fans, she has a certain following on social networks.
Efremova and her mother moved to France in 2019 to train at the Mouratoglou tennis academy. It’s a fairly familiar process because many great tennis players also started training here, and it’s similar to Daniil Medvedev’s journey. There is another point, Efremova has now become a French citizen (in 2023), while Medvedev is still Russian.
The world number 4 tennis player regularly uses the Mouratoglou tennis academy to practice because he lives nearby, and recently Medvedev had a practice session with the 14-year-old girl known as the “Prodigy”.
In the video posted by Efremova on her personal Instagram, she showed off the situation of throwing a heavy right kick that Medvedev hit the net.
Efremova is currently playing professionally. With the achievement of reaching the quarterfinals of Monastir 47 (ITF 15) in Tunisia 2023, she had the first score to rise to the 1,000th WTA world ranking.
