Victim of a fate of fatigue on the back, Arthur Son is officially forfeited for Wimbledon, which begins in nine days, and where he had reached the knockout stages last year.
It would have taken a miracle, it did not take place. Arthur Son is indeed forfeited for Wimbledon, due to his fate of fatigue on the back that he had forced him to forfeit his third round at Roland-Garros. The French No. 1 had aggravated his injury during his victory in five sets against Jaume Munar. He had managed to go after his meeting at the cost of a huge effort, but announced the next day that he was giving up his match against Andrey Rublev.
“During the match (against Munar), I quickly understood that I was not going to be able to continue playing in this tournament. I was injured at the bottom of the back before the tournament. I made the decision to play but unfortunately, it worsened against Munar. We did exams’ and we understood that it would not be possible to play against Rublo, that’s why I am forfeited. We decided with the team that it was the best decision, because the cut can be limited to 4 or 6 weeks if I stopped now. If I continued, I risked being out for at least two months ”had then explained the player, who has just celebrated his 21 years.
Humbert soon n ° 1 French?
Three weeks have passed since this package, and while Wimbledon will only start in nine days, the world n ° 15 has already decided to give up the legendary Gazon tournament. Eighth of finalist last year in London (defeat in four sets against Alex de Minaur), Arthur son will lose 200 points but could however still maintain his place in the top 20. He will then lose the 500 points of his victory in Hamburg (which is no longer disputed during this period of the year), and it is then that he could lose his place in the Top 20, and undoubtedly his place of French n ° 1 in favor of Ugo Humbert (eighth finalist Wimbledon then eliminated from GSTAAD).
The date of his return to competition is not yet known, but this should be during the North American season on Hard, where he had not particularly shone last year (second round in Cincinnati and the US Open), and he can therefore catch up with the lost points. In any case, his misfortune is the happiness of Fabio Fognini, who will be able to compete in his 15th Wimbledon without having to go through the qualifications.
