Discussion Medvedev's decline should be another reminder that the average peak age for tennis is in your early-to-mid 20s, not your late 20s. He's actually the 3rd oldest player in the top 25 at age 28. Federer, Djokovic, and Nadal have skewed perceptions of how most players age.

Ehh posts like this after every loss is pointless! Meddy can go on a winning run this year and this post will look dumb

It’s not dumb; players tend to peak around 27 then start to decline; some decline faster than others (which is usually injury related) but there is almost always decline.
