Following a hernia procedure that saw him miss most of the clay-court season, Daniil Medvedev announced he will be making his return to the ATP Tour at the Geneva Open, which kicks off on May 14.
The Russian last played at the Miami Open in March, where he lost to Hubert Hurkacz in the quarterfinals. Subsequently, he announced he would be taking time off to repair an abdominal hernia, a procedure that has kept him sidelined for a few weeks.
Nonetheless, it appears there were no roadblocks in the former World No.1's recovery, as he took to Twitter to confirm his participation at the inaugural event.
"Comeback on track" wrote the 26-year old.
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 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.
Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.
