Medvedev admits he is a doubt to take part in Rome to defend title

[ND-13]

The apparent adductor injury didn't come at a good time for Medvedev as the Rome Masters is starting Wednesday, May 8th. With just a few days left before the tournament starts, Medvedev can rest a bit and get some treatment but it is still not much time to treat an injury.

After retiring against Lehecka, Medvedev acknowledged his Rome participation was in a doubt but also noted he would first have to do some tests and see where he was before making any final decisions.


"Right now, yes, without a doubt. I need to see the pictures and talk to my team. It would be great to be able to come back after winning the title last year, but I need to see what injury I have, because right now I have no idea if It is something very serious, barely serious or not at all serious," Medvedev said.

If Medvedev is not able to play Rome, that would be extremely disappointing since he won his first clay title at Foro Italico last year.

A clay tournament without Medvedev just won't be the same

There's so much Medvedev hate on this forum. I don't get it.

There is a lot of hatred on this forum against many players.

Med's not my favorite, but I do like him.

On this forum you either get full on d*ck riding or hate.

 

[Klatu Verata Necktie]

I don't get the hate for any player.

Most times the full-on hate comes from gamblers that lost money on a particular player.

I still can't believe that Medvedev is a Rome champion...

Many hate him purely due to the anti-Russian propaganda that permeates the collective minds of people through media.

If Med can win Masters on clay at Rome there is no reason he can not win Roland Garros.
Especially with Alcaraz and others injured.

Maybe, but it doesn't feel that way. There are lots of Russian players on tour, and none of them get the heat that Medvedev gets.

A shame. Rome would've been the funniest title to finally defend.

Hatred for Russa/Putin is well deserved. How many successful tennis players still live in Russia?

For Putin, yeah.

But how is hatred for an entire population of 150 millions is well deserved?

None of them are as successful as Medvedev is.
Medvedev doesn't take s h i t either, he'd straightforwardly give it back with interest to the unfair & hooligan crowds.

Speaking of Medvedev's residence, he has lived in France & Monaco since he was 17 years old.

@Kralingen You're just a little boy who doesn't know how to fight

It's all about whether that player is competition for your idol's rival or not.

Especially if there are no video calls and challenges.

I like Medvedev. The haters are just idiots.

 

[ChrisJR3264]

not an exciting clay court season. 3/4 top players injured. A few others in the top 30 also go down with injuries over the last month.
Very strange spring so far.
If none are healthy for Roland garros - going to be an open draw.

I had forgotten he won a clay Masters. It feels kinda disturbing tbh

The guy was just blocked by big2. He deserved much more.
