The world No 3 said he would be taking a trip to the islands for the first time in five years, a holiday that his wife Daria wasn\u2019t going to enjoy too much. Medvedev is also taking a different approach to his pre-2024 preparations, admitting he wouldn\u2019t play any tournaments before the Australian Open.<\/p>\n<p>Medvedev\u2019s season came to an end on Saturday when he suffered a three-set defeat to Sinner. The 27-year-old had a successful year, winning five titles &#8211; including his first on clay, breaking new ground at Wimbledon by reaching the semi-final and getting wins over Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.<\/p>\n<p>The former world No 1 will now enjoy a different break from tennis compared to recent years, as he heads on his first island holiday in a while and opts out of warm-up tournaments for next season. While Medvedev is excited to relax and do nothing on his vacation, his wife Daria won\u2019t be too happy without having anything to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery year was different,\u201d Medvedev said of his last few off-seasons. \u201cTo be honest, I haven&#8217;t been on like off-season vacation as some players. You never know. One time I had Davis Cup. Last year we had a small baby, so&#8230; I was straightaway back to the duties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive tennis news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Just in <\/strong> <strong>Carlos Alcaraz &#8216;doesn&#8217;t want to think about it&#8217; as he makes Djokovic legacy joke[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/72\/590x\/secondary\/5074135.jpg?r=1700405932727\"><\/p>\n<p>But his plans for the end of 2023 were already clear. The world No 3 continued: \u201cThis year we&#8217;re going to go with my wife to the islands. First time in maybe four, five years. She doesn&#8217;t like it too much there because there is not much to do. But for me, that&#8217;s perfect after a hectic season. I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A two-time finalist at the Australian Open, Medvedev has often started the season with a warm-up tournament Down Under. In years past, he has represented Russia at the now-defunct ATP Cup and in 2023 he played an ATP 250 event in Adelaide.<\/p>\n<p>But he will be trying something new for the 2024 season in a bid to have a longer break from the sport. \u201cI&#8217;m probably going to play only Australian Open,\u201d Medvedev said. \u201cGoing to try like this to have more of a vacation time than usual and start with a Slam straightaway, which is going to be new for me.
