Daniil Medvedev has not even put on his shorts and he is already among the top 32 at the Masters 1000 in Rome. Exempt from the first round for being a seed, today the Russian was supposed to play his second-round match against Tomas Machac at 11:00 in the morning. However, the Czech player has fallen ill and had no choice but to withdraw from the tournament. A stroke of bad luck that pushes the Russian into the third round without having made his debut yet. If nothing unusual happens, he will face either Pablo Llamas or Corentin Moutet there.
Tomas Machac has withdrawn due to sickness.
