Henri Laaksonen rejects “unfair” allegations after giving up on opponent’s match point

“If you don’t have all the facts, you can just judge. I had them and made the decision,” the 30-year-old is quoted as saying in the Swiss newspaper “Blick”.

“I wish I didn’t have to give up and could go to Brest too,” he added. The man from Schafhausen had canceled his start at the Challenger tournament in the French port city after retiring in Hamburg.

“I hurt my leg in the middle of the second set in the final. I didn’t think about it much, but then it got worse,” he explained. He has pain between the adductors and the hip flexors.
