Earlier in the day, Medvedev explained why he has to suspend training for a while.
"Hi everyone. The last months I have been playing with a small hernia. Together with my team I have decided to have a small procedure done to fix the problem. I will likely be out for the next 1 - 2 months and will work hard to be back on court soon. Thanks for all the support," he wrote.
The announcement calls into question Medvedev's participation in the French Open tournament which begins in Paris on 22 May.
Recently, Medvedev cancelled his second match at Indian Wells, California, and then quit the quarterfinals of the Miami Open on 31 March.
In January, Medvedev was defeated by Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open final. Last year, the Russian tennis player beat Novak Djokovic at the US Open to win his first grand slam title.
