If there is one sport in which Daniil will not be able to make it, it would be car racing. He is too tall to fit inside one of those things.
But hope he is having fun :)
He is standing next to Daniil Kvyat in the upper left photo. Kvyat was an F1 driver until 2 years ago, and is still a test driver.
Kvyat is one of the taller F1 drivers, I believe... and he is dwarfed by Medvedev in the photo.
Also, Alex Albon, who is returning to F1 this year after a year out of it, is the man in the red, white, & blue racing suit.

Super Bowl commercial ICYMI, it went over well. One of the favorites it seems.

Bianca Andreescu (remember her?) says she went to this place recently.
Sounds like a Djokovic or Tsitsipas kind of 'alternative' thing.

Wisdom and Well Being at Blue Spirit, Costa Rica

No-one should be surprised if we've seen the last of her in the top 30.
We may have even seen the last of her on the tour, period.

When I see Steve Buscemi and a bowling alley ... I'm disappointed not to see Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, and most imporantly John Turturro :D

Great commercial. Manning, Jimmy Butler, Buscemi behind the bar. I didn't recognize the guy shooting pool or the two women. One MIGHT be Elaine Thompson-Herah of Jamaica.

Well Medvedev is already 26 and only has 1 slam and 13 titles, with Rafa and NOvak still around to contend with. On evidence so far, I’d say Alcaraz will be in a much better position at 26 than Medvedev is now

The guy shooting pool is Brooks Koepka (golf), the black woman bowling is Nneka Ogwumike (basketball) and the white woman bowling is Alex Morgan (soccer).

With Megan on Medvedev/Alcaraz. Medvedev will end up with 3, 4 hard court slams. Alcaraz, I still need to see him get better in those.
Time wise... yep, he is much younger and will enter his prime after Rafa and Nole are gone. But he will be in an age of parity.
