There is bad news from Gael Monfils who will not be able to face Holger Rune on Thursday in the second round of the French Open because of a wrist injury.
Gael revealed: “There’s a problem with my wrist that I cannot solve, I felt it during the match. Unfortunately, the doctor said it’s not good to play with that type of injury.
I’m not really sure what I feel, but it’s more than being disappointed. How many [more] Roland-Garroses will I play? That’s the question. I don’t know what the answer is. How many will I play?”
Gael delighted the home crowd when he defeated Sebastian Baez 3-6 6-3 7-5 1-6 7-5 after trailing 0-4 in the fifth set.
