“There are only regrets.” Kamelson on Khachanov’s withdrawal from Wimbledon due to injury

The news that Karen Khachanov will miss the Wimbledon tournament due to injury, can only cause regret, Vladimir Kamelzon, Russia’s honored coach, told .

Previously, Khachanov officially withdrew from the Grand Slam tournament in the UK. The tennis player will miss Wimbledon with a stress fracture and will be replaced in the main draw by Argentinian Francisco Cerundolo. The last time Khachanov stepped onto the court was in the Roland Garros quarter-finals, where he lost to eventual tournament winner Novak Djokovic of Serbia. After that, the 27-year-old tennis player missed the grass court tournament in Halle due to injury. He is currently ranked 11th in the ATP rankings.

– For us, Khachanov’s injury and withdrawal is a very sad fact. He also plays a couple. Be that as it may, their pair with Rublev is played and periodically gives a good result.

Wimbledon in the world of tennis is generally considered the number one tournament. It is therefore a sad event not only for Karen, but for all the Russians who support him. Nature is nature. Nothing can be done when injuries occur. Tennis has become a traumatic sport in general. All players suffer from the fact that there are injuries. Everyone talks about it, but no one can live without it. No divine coach can predict this.

I only have regrets. We have two more of our guys in the top ten players to perform at Wimbledon. All hope is that one of them will shoot. We wish Karen a speedy recovery. He’s still a young man, and ahead of Wimbledon, but also the US Open, Kamelzon told .

In early June, it was reported that the majority of Russian tennis players were having difficulty obtaining UK visas to play at Wimbledon. Khachanov then admitted that he already had all the necessary documents. Wimbledon 2023 will take place from July 3-16.
