Daniil Medvedev revealed to fans Tuesday the heartwarming reason for his delayed arrival at the 2025 Australian Open: the birth of his second child. 

The No. 5 in the PIF ATP Rankings shared a photo of himself holding his newborn baby, with his and wife Daria's two-year-old daughter Alisa. "Happy 2025," the 2021 US Open champion wrote. 

Medvedev, who last competed at the Nitto ATP Finals in November, will head to the Australian Open as the fifth seed. The 28-year-old is a three-time finalist in Melbourne and will be eager to go one step further after falling to Jannik Sinner from two-sets-to-love up in last year's championship match.

The draw ceremony for the 2025 Australian Open will take place at Melbourne Park on Thursday, 9 January at 2:30 p.m. local time. See the full list of seeds here
