Medvedev wishes a happy retirement to his mortal rival
Though we expect rivalries of tennis players on the court during the 2022 Australian Open it was chair umpire Jaume Campistol who was the biggest rival of Medvedev. There was a heated argument between the two during the Australian Open sem-final in 2022. That is the reason why it was slightly strange for the fans when the 2021 US Open champion wished him on his retirement on Twitter (Presently known as X) saying, "Man a lot of fun memories on the tennis court
Wishing you a peaceful retirement." Some fans also saw a bit of sarcasm in the tweet as he wished the official.
