Daniil Medvedev believes players should be allowed treatment for cramps during matches in a bid to minimise repeated stoppages in play.<\/p>\n
He said: “I actually have a solution: allow physical, allow medical treatment for helps.<\/p>\n
“Allow medical, meaning physio three minutes, when you have cramps.<\/p>\n
“Then there’s no problem because then a player could say: ‘I have cramps, I need a physio’. For the moment, it’s not allowed. I completely understand.<\/p>\n
“Of course, if you start cramping – maybe he was not, I have no idea – what you do is you ask a physio and you say: ‘I have a small pain in the leg’.<\/p>\n
“Probably I did it as well in my career. If medical would be allowed for cramps, there would be no problem, so this is a solution.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniil Medvedev believes players should be allowed treatment for cramps during matches in a bid to minimise repeated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":590142,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[12701,11818,87837,13976,201919,201921,201920,811,201918,101,118,12700,201922,872,13797,100469,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-590141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-atp-tour","tag-daniil-medvedev","tag-health-concerns","tag-italian-open","tag-italian-open-final","tag-italian-open-highlights","tag-italian-open-news","tag-jannik-sinner","tag-jannik-sinner-score","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-tennis-section","tag-tennis-live-stream","tag-tennis-news","tag-tennis-scores","tag-tennis-today","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=590141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590141\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/590142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=590141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=590141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=590141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
