"There are plenty of players who can reach the semi-finals and final": Wilander believes Medvedev exit huge for men's tennis

The defeat of Daniil Medvedev to Seyboth Wild at Roland Garros was a huge thing according to Mats Wilander proving that the depth in men's tennis is huge.

Daniil Medvedev didn't play a very good match and Thiago Seyboth Wild played a really good match which is the combination that allowed the latter to dump out the Russian from the event. According to Mats Wilander, there was a huge significance to men's tennis besides that as he explained that it proves the depth of men's tennis is huge:

"The fact that Medvedev lost to a player who has never played here before, but who has played 46 matches this year, including 36 on the Challenger circuit, means that the depth of men's tennis is incredible . Anyone can go through. With Daniil Medvedev out, there are plenty of players who can reach the semi-finals and final in the bottom-half. On the other hand, we can expect Djokovic and Alcaraz to reach the semifinals."
