Daniil Medvedev didn’t really shine in the last couple of months and now we know why. The world no.2 announced that he had to correct a hernia with a small procedure. Unfortunately, Daniil will be out of competition for 1 or 2 months. It is extremely plausible that he will skip the entire clay-court season to be back only after the Roland Garros.

This was his statement:

“Hi everyone. The last months I have been playing with a small hernia. Together with my team I have decided to have a small procedure done to fix the problem. I will likely be out for the next 1 – 2 months and will work hard to be back on court soon. Thanks for all the support.”

Until now, during this year the Russian has a 16-5 win-loss record. Daniil Medvedev’s most significant achievement of the year was getting to the final at the Australian Open.
