After his heavy defeat against Jannik Sinner in three sets, Jiri Lehecka spoke on the package of Arthur fils. The Czech includes the pain of French, since he was the victim of the same injury last year.
Swept away. This is the word that comes out after Jiri Lehecka’s defeat against the world number one Jannik Sinner. In just 1h35 of play, the Italian dominated his opponent by leaving three small games in the meeting (6-0, 6-1, 6-2). A demonstration that the Czech took with a smile, as the level of sinner was impressive. He even admitted to being “kicked up” at a press conference.
Beyond his defeat, Lehecka also had a thought for Arthur Son. A few hours earlier, the Frenchman had addressed the press to explain the reasons for his package the day before.
Decreasing after a titanic fight, son spoke of a fracture of fatigue on the back. His participation for Wimbledon is not ensured. For Lehecka, the French must rest and take his pain in patience.
A complicated injury
The Czech unfortunately knows what son is currently experiencing. Last year in Madrid, he had to abandon against Félix Auger-Aliassime in the semi-finals before resuming four months later in Cincinnati. “I’m sorry for him, I know exactly what he feels. It is not an easy injury in terms of physical level, but also mentally. It is something difficult to take care of. Everyone can experience this kind of injury differently. Each body reacts differently. Some will take a year to recover, other three months, and others a month. »»
Complicated words to hear, but French will have no choice. The Czech warned son while being sorry for what happens to him. “It’s unfortunate for him. I hope he will get back on his feet quickly. The worst part is that he can do almost nothing to make it improve immediately. It is not a blocked back or a lesion, it is a fatigue fracture so it will have to stay calm and wait. That’s the worst “he explained.
