Czas niewątpliwie najlepszy na taką pauzę i w sumie faktycznie pewnie odpuści również RG, bo wątpię w ściganie się z czasem by tam zdążyć.

DANIIL MEDVEDEV ON HIS JOURNEY TO WORLD NUMBER ONE: "To be honest, when I started on the professional tour I couldn’t think that I would achieve what I’ve done, but I always had some self-belief that I could be a good player if I tried my best all the time. When you are 18 that’s sometimes what you miss and I try to work on this part of me and later in my career it turned out to be a good thing."

‘Comeback On Track!’: Medvedev To Play Geneva

Spoiler:

ATP 250 event in Switzerland will be held from 14-21 May
Daniil Medvedev’s initial schedule on his return from a hernia procedure will include the Gonet Geneva Open, the ATP 250 event announced on Friday.

“Comeback on track!”, wrote the 26-year-old on Twitter in response to the announcement of his wild card. Medvedev will be making his debut at the Swiss tournament, which runs from 14-21 May at the Tennis Club de Geneve.

The World No. 2 last played at the Miami Open presented by Itau in March, where he reached the quarter-finals before falling to Hubert Hurkacz at the ATP Masters 1000 event.


Medvedev is yet to pick up a title in 2022 but has nonetheless enjoyed a strong start to the year that saw him reach No. 1 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings for the first time on 28 February. He reached a fourth Grand Slam final at the Australian Open in January, with a run to the semi-finals in Acapulco also contributing to his 16-5 match record for the season so far.

@Nando, pewnie mi nie uwierzysz, ale tak sobie dzisiaj myślałem, że Daniił poprosi o WC przed RG (widziałem, że od tygodnia trenuje, a z Rzymu się wycofał).

Medvedev On Return In Geneva: 'I Feel Great'

Spoiler:

World No. 2 pursuing first title of the season
Daniil Medvedev returns to action this week at the Gonet Geneva Open for his first competition of the clay-court season. The World No. 2 is ready to compete following a “small procedure” to repair a “small hernia” after Miami.

“I feel great. managed to get around I would say two weeks of good practice and one week of full practice,” Medvedev said. “ decided that it’s going to be good to prepare [for the] French Open, to get some matches here. Some matches, hopefully more than one.”

Medvedev will be making his debut in Geneva, where he will play former Top 10 star Richard Gasquet or Australian John Millman in his opening match. The 26-year-old, who has posted several videos of himself training in recent weeks, is hoping to get off to a quick start on his return.

This will be Medvedev’s first appearance on clay since losing in last year’s Roland Garros quarter-finals against Stefanos Tsitsipas, and he is hoping to adjust to the surface quickly. “It’s never been easy for me on clay courts to straightaway start good,” Medvedev said.

The 13-time tour-level champion will pursue his first title of the year in Switzerland and his maiden crown on clay. He will have to overcome a tough field, which includes potential quarter-final opponent Dominic Thiem, defending champion Casper Ruud and third seed Denis Shapovalov.

Most importantly, Medvedev is feeling well leading into his first tournament in six weeks.

“I’m feeling good,” Medvedev said. “Physically, I’m feeling ready.”

Medvedev On Clay: 'I Need To Be In The Zone'

Spoiler:

World No. 2 reflects on second-round loss in Geneva against Gasquet
Daniil Medvedev had more than one challenge on his return to action Tuesday at the Gonet Geneva Open. Not only did the World No. 2 miss a month-and-a-half due to a procedure for a small hernia, but he had to return on his least-favourite surface: clay.

“It’s tough. I don’t play my best tennis on clay courts. I know that I am capable of making some good results as I did in the past. But for this, I kind of need to be in the zone, which I was not today,” Medvedev said following his straight-sets loss against Richard Gasquet in the second round. “When I’m not in the zone on hard courts, sometimes during the tournament, during the match, I can try to turn it around and sometimes it doesn’t happen.

“On clay [it is] much tougher and usually from what I remember most of the matches — not all of them, but most of them — I’m losing because it’s tough for me to turn something around unless everything goes well straightaway and that’s what happened today."

Credit goes to former World No. 7 Gasquet, who showed some of his best tennis in his 6-2, 7-6(5) victory. The Frenchman whipped his one-handed backhand around the court and showed impressive speed for a 35-year-old to retrieve drop shots.

Despite that, Medvedev was in with a chance in the second set deep in the tie-break. But he relinquished his opportunity with a double fault on match point. The top seed hit seven double faults in his loss.

“ a lot of errors, a lot of double faults. Just was not playing good enough to win. Had maybe some small bright moments in the second set where I maybe could have won the second set,” Medvedev said. “But again because I don’t feel as confident on clay as on the other surfaces, that’s why I lost 7/5 in the tie-break, finishing with a double fault.

“[It is] disappointing, but I’ve had tougher losses in my career and I just need to try to do better next time.”

The good news is that Medvedev was pleased with how his body felt after his first match for nearly two months. Now the 26-year-old will continue working in hopes of finding better form next week at Roland Garros, the season’s second major. Last year, he advanced to the quarter-finals on the Parisian clay.

“Physically I felt not bad today. I think more days of practice and should be ready for Roland Garros because physically, even right now, my body feels good. Let’s see tomorrow morning, because I haven’t played [a tournament] for one month and a half, maybe two months,” Medvedev said. “Hopefully tomorrow morning it’s going to be good also.

“ have some days of practice before Roland Garros so I’m going to try to work physically and also tennis-wise. Hopefully I can try to find the game I had there last year, which is not going to be easy.”

Medvedev On Roland Garros ‘Expectations’

Spoiler:

World No. 2 reached quarter-finals at clay-court Grand Slam in 2021
Daniil Medvedev may not be commonly associated with clay-court prowess, but the World No. 2 is fit and raring to go as he arrives at Roland Garros looking to back up his quarter-final run from a year ago.

“I love the French Open,” said the second seed in his pre-tournament press conference. “I have had some tough moments in terms of results, [but] last year, even though we didn't have much of a crowd, we had some atmosphere and I loved it. I played well.

“It is a pleasure being here this year, and we might have a full crowd. I'm really happy to be here. I love playing in France.”

Prior to his run to the last eight in Paris a year ago, when he defeated Alexander Bublik, Tommy Paul, Reilly Opelka and Cristian Garin before falling to Stefanos Tsitsipas, Medvedev had not won a match at Roland Garros in four previous attempts. He has lifted a trophy in the French capital before, however, having won the Rolex Paris Masters in 2020, and Medvedev believes there is no reason he cannot perform strongly on the outdoor clay in the country he calls home.

“I was asked about my lack of achievements in France, but [that has] changed because I managed to win in Bercy,” explained Medvedev. “So I have some expectations for this tournament.”


Medvedev faces Argentine Facundo Bagnis in his opening match in Paris, where he sits in the opposite half of the draw to Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz. The second seed sees the potential of meeting one of the strongest clay-courters later in the tournament as extra motivation for a deep run in the French capital.

“It's good from one side to have them on the other side of the draw,” said Medvedev. “At the same time, even more than other tournaments, I have to focus on myself. [There are] a lot of good clay court players. I'm playing one of them in the first round. I need to prepare for this one and I'm going to take it match by match.

“If I manage to meet one of [Djokovic, Nadal or Alcaraz] in the draw, it means I made a good tournament. So hopefully I can see one of them in the second week.”

Having started the year with a strong 16-4 record that included a run to the Australian Open final in January, Medvedev’s season was disrupted by a hernia procedure that meant he did not play on clay until last week’s Gonet Geneva Open, where he fell to a fifth defeat of the year against Richard Gasquet in his opening match. Despite that result, the four-time ATP Masters 1000 titlist is happy with how his recovery post-surgery has gone.

“I was playing with it for a while,” said Medvedev. “It's tough to know if it bothered me or not because it was never painful…I wanted to find the best moment to do it, in terms of where you don't go too far playing with an injury, because that's when the recovery can go longer, and the consequences can be harsher.

“I'm happy I'm back, because I heard it can take on average six weeks to come back to play in tennis, but maybe more. For me, it was four weeks where I took the racquet and started playing tennis. I never really felt pain.”



Medvedev even believes the enforced break may help him in both his Roland Garros bid and his hunt for the success for the rest of 2022.

“I was coming back step by step,” said the 26-year-old. “Geneva actually was the six weeks where I should have just taken the racquet, but I was already playing a match. Physically, I'm feeling good, ready to play five sets.

“I took this time to really refresh the batteries, because I needed this…I felt that I needed this break maybe for my body and for my head.

“Right now, I'm more happy to be on the practice courts, I want to [be] more professional, [focus on] small details, and hopefully this can result in some good tournaments either here or maybe in the next ones.”

Djokovic vs Medvedev vs Zverev: The 3-Way Roland Garros Battle For World No. 1

Spoiler:

Learn about the Pepperstone ATP Rankings storylines to watch in Paris
There is always a lot at stake at the majors. There is even more on the line at Roland Garros this year thanks to a three-way battle for the No. 1 spot in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, World No. 2 Daniil Medvedev and World No. 3 Alexander Zverev can all emerge from Paris atop the men's tennis mountain, setting up for a thrilling fortnight in Paris.

In the immediate aftermath of the clay-court major, Djokovic holds his fate in his own hands in the battle for No. 1. If the Serbian wins the title, he will remain in top spot for a 373rd week on 6 June. If Djokovic does not reach the semi-finals, both Medvedev and Zverev have an opportunity to move to World No. 1.

Potential Pepperstone ATP Rankings Points (6 June) Based On RG Result

6 June 1R 2R 3R 4R QF SF F W
Novak Djokovic 8420 8455 8500 8590 8770 9130 9610 10410
Daniil Medvedev 7990 8025 8070 8160 8340 8700 9180 9980
Alexander Zverev 7085 7120 7165 7255 7435 7795 8275 9075
However, one week after Roland Garros concludes, the situation could dramatically change. Because the tournament was played one week later than normal last year, the trio will still count their 2021 Roland Garros points for the week of 6 June.

But on 13 June, Djokovic will drop his 2021 Roland Garros champion's points (2,000), opening the door for Medvedev or Zverev to replace him at the top of the Pepperstone ATP Rankings. If Djokovic does not win Roland Garros this year, he will relinquish top spot that day.

If Medvedev reaches the Roland Garros final, he will return to World No. 1 on 13 June, even if Djokovic lifts the trophy. If Zverev wins the tournament and Medvedev does not reach the final, the German will become the 28th World No. 1. If Medvedev reaches the semi-finals in Paris and earns more than 15 points at the ATP 250 event in the week of 6 June at 's-Hertogenbosch, this would prevent Zverev from going to World No. 1 on 13 June even if he triumphs at Roland Garros.

Potential Pepperstone ATP Rankings Points (13 June) Based On RG Result

13 June 1R 2R 3R 4R QF SF F W
Novak Djokovic 6420 6455 6500 6590 6770 7130 7610 8410
Daniil Medvedev 7630 7665 7710 7800 7980 8340 8820 9620
Alexander Zverev 6365 6400 6445 6535 6715 7075 7555 8355
*Does not include potential points earned the week of 6 June
The only thing that could potentially affect these scenarios is if Djokovic or Zverev accept a wild card into an ATP 250 the week of 6 June, when Medvedev is already scheduled to compete.

While the focus will be on the battle for World No. 1, there will be continued attention on the rise of 19-year-old Carlos Alcaraz, who enters Roland Garros at a career-high No. 6. Should he win his maiden Grand Slam title, the Spaniard could move to as high as No. 4 on 6 June and No. 3 one week later on 13 June.
