“Losing the tournament I love playing the most hurts me a lot,” he wrote on his social media. It is not yet known how long he will be absent from the courts.
Hard blow for Christian Garin less than a week after the start of Roland Garros. The Chilean reported in his networks that he broke a rib, so he won’t be able to participate in the French Grand Slam for the first time since 2018.
“Hello everyone! I am very sad and sorry to announce that I will not be able to play at Roland Garros this year due to a broken rib. I don’t have many words to express how I feel, missing the tournament I love to play the most hurts me a lot “Began by explaining the former world number 17, who had been struggling with physical problems since the Masters 1000 in Rome.
Of course, it’s unclear if the injury happened before the Italian tournament or after as no further details about it are given in the text. What is well remembered is that the Chilean could not finish his participation in Rome due to physical complications, abandoned in the middle of the match for the round of 16 against Laslo Djere.
“It’s hard for me to say right now but I will do everything I can to come back in the best possible way. Always grateful for all the messages of support and love from all of you, I appreciate you very much “, he wrote in the publication where he announced his injury.
This announcement obviously brings bad feelings to Garin, who had a good tour of European clay, where the ATP 250 quarter-finals in Houston and Munich stood out. This yes, with the absence in Paris, will not be able to defend the 20 points he added last year and will fall almost 20 places in the world ranking.
Problems that add to the fact that yesterday it was confirmed that he failed to enter the main draw at Wimbledon, so there could already be two consecutive Grand Slams in which the Chilean is not not seen, which hasn’t happened since 2018 when he was left out of the Australian Open and Roland Garros. In fact, that was the last time he wasn’t in the big brick dust.
In any case, in London he still has his chance, because he is currently the seven substitute and in case of no direct entry due to the loss of other players, he will be able to participate in the playoffs of the event.
