Monfils spoke about the severity of his injury
French tennis player Gael Monfils (No. 394 ATP), known to be the husband of Ukrainian Elina Svitolina, spoke about the extent of his wrist injury, which forced him to refuse to perform further at Roland Garros.
“I have a partial tear in one of the ligaments in my left wrist. I managed to finish the match with Baez on adrenaline, but the situation did not improve overnight. This morning I took some anti-inflammatory drugs, tried to hit the ball and felt pain.
The doctor wasn’t sure of the diagnosis so I had to take an MRI. Then his response was: “We’re not playing.” To find out the exact recovery time, you need to undergo another examination. If it will take a few weeks, then fearless. If there was a complete rupture of the ligament, the situation would have been worse, ”admitted Monfils.
Recall that in the second round of Roland Garros, Monfils had to play with Holger Rune from Denmark, who took the sixth place.
