Beijing time on April 2 news, the world's No. 2 Medvedev announced on social media that he will undergo a small operation, is expected to be injured for 1 to 2 months after the operation. That means he could miss all of the clay season before the French Open, and whether he will be able to catch up with the French Open is still unknown.
Medvedev said on social media that he would undergo a small hernia surgery to fix the problems that had plagued him for the past few months. Depending on how you recover from surgery, you may miss the next 1 to 2 months of competition. At the same time, Medvedev said that he would return to the field despite this and thanked everyone for their support.
The choice to undergo surgery at the dawn of the clay season is the result of a combination of Medvedev and the team. Clay racing is not what Medvedev excels at, and his career record so far in clay season is only 15 wins and 21 losses. His best result at the French Open was last year's quarter-finals, after he had suffered a round at the French Open for four consecutive years.
If Medvedev can recover within 1 month, he can catch up with the Rome Masters and french Open according to the schedule. And if his recovery time is 2 months, his hopes of playing in the French Open this year will be very slim.
After this week's Miami Masters stopped in the quarter-finals, Medvedev has no chance to return to the world number one next week. Now he will be 1 to 2 months out of surgery, which means Djokovic may last longer in the world number one position. Next week, Djokovic will continue to rank first in the world with a 10-point advantage, and djokovic's points protection pressure is not great before the arrival of the French Open, so as long as Djokovic plays normally, Djokovic is expected to continue to sit on the world number one throne before the end of the French Open.
