Forced break for Medvedev

In the social networks, Medvedev announced on Saturday that he played with a smaller groin in recent months. He and his team now decided to solve the problem through a smaller operation. "I'll probably be out of the next one to two months," wrote Medvedev. He will work hard to return as soon as possible.

Medvedev was eliminated on Thursday at the Masters 1000 tournament in Miami in the quarterfinals. He had missed the hoped-for return to the world ranking point.

Medvedev had replaced Djokovic as a leader just a few weeks ago. Due to the early in Indian Wells, he had to leave the top position but immediately again, even if Djokovic was not allowed to start due to his missing corona vaccination in the two big hard course tournaments in the USA.
