David Goffin has tested positive for Covid-19.
Sorti from the first day of Roland-Garros, without energy or motivation against the Italian Jannik Sinner, David Goffin had expressed his anxiety about the entire health context linked to the coronavirus crisis. A sort of “Covid-blues”, we summed up from Paris.
This Wednesday, around 7 p.m., the Liege citizen announced via social networks that he had been tested on Tuesday, with a view to going to the tournament in Saint Petersburg, scheduled for next week, but that this test turned out to be positive! Which obviously means his placement in quarantine.
“I feel good as long as now”
“Bad news, following a positive test for Covid-19, I am forced to withdraw from the tournament in Saint Petersburg,” he shares via the networks. “I’m feeling good as long as now I’m going to quarantine and hopefully hopefully be back for the Antwerp tournament. “
The time trial is on for the Belgian nº1 since the European Open starts in ten days. Even if the 13th in the world, seeded No. 2 and bye in the first round, would not enter the track earlier than Wednesday 21 October. So that leaves him two weeks ahead of him, if all goes well, and this clarification is obviously important. Otherwise, it would simply mean the end of a 2020 season to forget and special attention to regain health as quickly as possible, which is obviously the most important. But for now, the tournaments in Antwerp (October 19-25), Vienna (October 26 to November 1) and Paris-Bercy (November 2 to 8) are still on the program. It will be necessary to see in which physical and mental state he will manage to dispute them, if necessary.
