The World No. 2 tennis player Daniil Medvedev tweeted on Saturday that he had a “small procedure” to try to fix a small hernia that he’s had for the last couple months.
The Russian has been playing with the hernia for months but he will now miss one to two months of playing time while recovering from the procedure.
It was a quick turnaround for Medvedev as he just played on Thursday in the Miami Open, losing to Hubert Hurkacz. If Medvedev would have won this match, he would have taken back the World No.
