Medvedev & Kyrgios Withdraw From Washington
Daniil Medvedev and Nick Kyrgios on Wednesday withdrew from the Mubadala Citi DC Open.
Medvedev has competed at the Washington ATP 500 event on three previous occasions, tallying an 8-3 record. In 2019 he reached the final, losing to Kyrgios.
The 27-year-old has enjoyed a standout 2023 season, earning a 46-9 record and five titles. Only Carlos Alcaraz has more wins this year, with 47. Medvedev has triumphed in Rotterdam, Doha, Dubai, Miami and Rome.
The No. 3 player in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings last competed at Wimbledon, where he reached the semi-finals for the first time. Eventual champion Alcaraz stopped him there in straight sets.
Kyrgios is a two-time Washington champion, having lifted the trophy in 2019 and 2022. The Australian has only competed in one event this year — last month in Stuttgart — due to injury.
