They just mentioned Nishikori as the last top player that Medvedev has beaten on clay (Barcelona 2019.) Last match Kei played was in 2021. Has he officially retired?

From Wikipedia:

2022: Hip surgery​

On January 25, 2022 Kei Nishikori announced that he will be undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left hip and will be aiming to come back on tour in about six months.

2023: Projected comeback​

Nishikori announced he was aiming to be able to return for the 2023 Australian Open, stating that he has a 'strong desire' to return. However, two weeks before the start of the tournament he announced he is still struggling with an ongoing foot injury and delayed his return to an undisclosed date.

Medvedev never looks comfortable on clay. The footwork is off, trying to play his hard court game, looking as if he’s constantly trying not to slide onto his ass.

Starting to look like women's tennis where they break at will! Sascha lost his serve at "Luv!" What an idiot!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Zverev deserves to lose this match, I mean how many chances does he need to win?

 

[kskate2]

this dude still hasn't learned a lesson from the 2020 USO. Do we think he will learn one from as soon as an hour ago
