Stefanos Tsitsipas will be the seed number 1 in the upcoming ATP500 that will be played in Rotterdam next week. Daniil Medvedev was meant to be the top seed, but eventually, he decided not to play after a long run at the Australian Open, where he was the runner-up to Rafael Nadal. Unfortunately, the event also loses the presence of Jannik Sinner.
This was Medvedev’s statement:
“Unfortunately, I will not play in Rotterdam this year. I just got back from Australia and I am not ready to compete. Rotterdam is one of my favorite stops. I look forward to coming back in the future.”
The good news is that top players such as Andy Murray and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga received a wild card for the main draw.
