Medvedev Withdraws Due to Injury, Madrid Masters Semifinal Lineup Set

Russian tennis star Daniil Medvedev was unable to advance to the semifinals at the Madrid Masters clay court tournament. In the quarterfinals, the world number four lost the first set 4−6 to Czech player Jiri Lehecka, and then withdrew from the match due to injury. Medvedev took a medical timeout during the set. With a victory, Medvedev could have climbed to third place in the ATP rankings on Monday, surpassing Carlos Alcaraz. The Spaniard had previously lost in the quarterfinals to Andrey Rublev and was unable to defend his title as tournament champion.
