The release of the rookie has sparked heated debate, with many fans and analysts questioning whether the Colts were too harsh in their response. Several players in the locker room have expressed concern over how this decision will affect the team’s chemistry moving forward.
The rookie’s release has left some to argue that the Colts overreacted, while others feel it was necessary to maintain discipline within the team and send a strong message about accountability.

This release is sure to be a major talking point in the coming days as fans and the media dissect the Colts’ bold move. Will this action help the team refocus, or will it create tension in the locker room? Only time will tell as the Colts continue their pursuit of success in the remainder of the season.

Gilles Simon Dives Into the ‘Complicated’ Breakdown of Working Relationship With Daniil Medvedev in 2025
Gilles Simon has opened up on the breakdown of the working relationship between himself and
Simon, who was a professional player himself, has claimed that the breakdown in the relationship started at the 2024 US Open. Medvedev lost in straight sets to
We had our first disagreement during the US Open, where he reached the quarterfinals. I remember him returning from a great distance in every match, which didn’t fit the tactical plan we had designed. I knew he was going to beat the players he beat returning from so far away, players like Fabian Marozsan or Nuno Borges, but my analysis before the quarterfinal match was that if he continued returning like that, he wasn’t ready to face Jannik Sinner.
Medvedev had a positive head-to-head against Sinner for a long period of time. However, things shifted from the 2024 Australian Open final. The Russian lost after being two sets up against Sinner. Mind you that he also lost from the same position two years earlier against
It’s very complicated to implement certain changes for a player with such a well-defined pattern, someone accustomed to following certain paths when needed. It’s necessarily more difficult to work with a 28-year-old, whose path is already established, than with a 15- or 20-year-old kid. At the end of the season, we talked, and he confessed that I had already helped him a lot, but that I couldn’t push him any further.
Since then, he lost only one recognized final, which came at Indian Wells that year. He lost to Carlos Alcaraz there, and could only register one Grand Slam match win in 2025.
Gilles Simon gutted by how relationship with Daniil Medvedev ended
Former French tennis star Gilles Simon expressed disappointment about ending his relationship with Daniil Medvedev on a sour note. The duo ended their partnership briefly into the start of the 2025 season, when the Russian lost in the second round of the Australian Open. Simon added:
Daniil is extremely nice on the outside, but when he’s on the court, when he’s playing matches, he has a little monster inside to deal with that isn’t easy to handle. We’ve been players ourselves, we understand what’s going on, we know that our comments aren’t doing him any favors, but we understand. It’s a shame it turned out this way, but I knew this before I started working with him; everything else was a happy experience.
Medvedev has largely remained consistent throughout his professional career, qualifying for the ATP Finals from 2019 till 2024. In 2020, he also ended up winning the ATP Finals for the first time in his career.
However, Medvedev has not been a top dog on the ATP Tour for quite some time. His last win against either Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz came in the 2024 Wimbledon quarterfinals, where he beat the Italian in five sets.
