Athletistic/Tennis. The fourth racket in the world, Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev, explained why he decided to abandon the fight in the quarter-final match of the Masters in Madrid (Spain) with Czech Jiri Lehechka. The 28-year-old Russian lost the first set with a score of 4:6, after which he withdrew from the prestigious competition.
“When I ran and tried to speed up, I suddenly felt like my hip was stuck and I just couldn’t run. Let me give you an example: when you have a sprain or spasm, it’s really difficult to know which of the two is true. I tried to continue the match, but my head didn’t allow me to reach my maximum, so at the end of the first set I. “I wanted to continue the game. But at that moment I realized that I didn’t need to continue. I hope that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I will have an MRI to see what happened to my hip,” Medvedev said, as quoted by Punto de Break.
Daniil Medvedev asked the referee for a medical timeout midway through the first set of the match against Legechka. The Russian went to the grandstand area, but eventually managed to return to the court.
In the semi-final of the Madrid Masters, Jiri Legechka will face the Canadian Félix Auger-Allassime. In another semi-final of the “thousandth” in the Spanish capital, Russian Andrei Rublev will play with American Taylor Fritz.
