Christian Garin drops out of Winston-Salem and sparks concern ahead of US Open and Davis Cup

Christian Garin is not having fun. When everything seemed to be working out for him after his breakthrough at Wimbledon, left wrist injury which was born during this tournament and which worsened during the clay court tour that followed, it complicated and could not play for several weeks.

His return was originally scheduled for the Winston-Salem ATP Qualifiers, which begin on Monday. However, During this day, the number two of the country announced that he will not contest it due to these physical problems.

“Hello everyone. Tough weeks, but I wanted to let you know that I’ve made positive progress in recovering my left wrist, but I still can’t train normally, so we’ve decided not to play next week.” he wrote on his Instagram account.

And he added about his next steps: “The goal is to continue to increase the loads as we go to try to reach the US Open in the best way. I will let you know how I continue to progress. Thanks for the messages of support.”

A few days ago, Pepe Vendrell, coach of the national tennis player, explained what was the situation of his student. “We were dragging a malaise from Wimbledon, we said to ourselves that we were going to master it better, that we were going to be able to adapt it ; but on the gravel circuit he didn’t have good feelings and we decided to take a little break to see if we can recover them completely and face the rest”.

Christian Garin’s situation not only complicates him for the US Open, but also casts doubt on his participation for the Davis Cup World Group I series against Peru, September 17-18, in Lima.

For this series, the current national number one, Alejandro Tabilo, will arrive with little filming, as he has not played since Wimbledon, due to discomfort caused by grade three edema in his left humerus , so his coaching staff decided to rest him until he was fully recovered. Thus, his return is expected next week in Winston-Salem.

As, Tomás Barrios is recovering from surgery on the outer meniscus of his left knee , so his recovery time is estimated between two and three months, so he is already excluded from the series in the Peruvian capital. ANDe chillanejo made several confrontations that had been Tabilo’s partner in doubles on points. With his defeat, Nicolás Massú will have to reconfigure the duo.

A) Yes, the only one of the national singles that arrives with the shooting is Nicolás Jarry who has played two ATP 250 tournaments (Gstaad and Kitzbühel) and the Challenger 125 in Vancouver in recent weeks.
