Defending champion Daniil Medvedev has regretfully announced his withdrawal from the upcoming Rotterdam Open. The world number three cited fatigue and a right foot injury as the primary reasons for his decision. This comes just weeks after his grueling battle at the Australian Open, where he reached the final only to be defeated by Italian Jannik Sinner in a five-set thriller.
Medvedev's extraordinary performance at the Australian Open undoubtedly took a toll on his body. In fact, he set a Grand Slam record by spending an astounding 24 hours and 17 minutes on court at Melbourne Park. Such an intense and physically demanding campaign has left him with insufficient time to rest and recover adequately, particularly his persistently troublesome right foot.
