There are already 24 withdrawals from Gael Monfils in the middle of an official match, equaling the record held by Tommy Haas and Janko Tipsarevic. The Frenchman did not go from 3-3 in his first round duel in the Miami Open against Ugo Humbert, leaving the field in tears due to severe pain in his wrist. Minutes later, the Parisian tennis player explained the confusion with which he currently lives, aware that at 36 the end is getting closer.
“I hurt my wrist, I’m defeated, now it’s time to go home to do some tests and start a new treatment. I don’t know if it will be two weeks, six weeks or longer, let’s hope it’s as little as possible. I don’t want it, but if someone tells me that I broke my wrist and that I have nine months to recover, then I will have to stop and think things over… although I don’t think I have nine months to go. If the day comes when I can’t anymore, well I can’t anymore. I will do my best to continue playing, I still love this sport,” said the Frenchman in The team.
