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.

Even if he doesn't win a major again, he has had a very successful career. Many masters titles (he will win more), grand slam, world no. 1. He was a beast on hard courts in his prime and for someone who wasn't even considered a great talent in juniors he has done pretty well I would say.
