“Casper Rud completed the soil season”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Having displayed nobility after an unexpected defeat, Rud did not completely write off the failure of the injury and, above all, noted the outstanding game of his rival: “He showed the phenomenal level.”
From time to time, having difficulty moving in the court and making many casual errors, the two-time finalist Rolan Harros (2022 and 2023) told in more detail at a press conference about pain in the leg, which first appeared in the beginning of the soil season, in Monte Carlo.
“I hope this is nothing serious. It does not hurt constantly – in training I can avoid painful movements, but in matches it is much more difficult. ”
Running on the left foot when playing beckhend became almost impossible. Before that, he carefully hid his condition – “That is why I starred from the Geneva tournament after Rome. I hoped to recover to Rolan Harros. ” However, the pain took the mountain. The examinations conducted in Madrid (where it won the soil masters) did not find serious damage, but confirmed the presence of inflammatory effusion. Because of this, the Norwegian was forced to take anti -inflammatory and painkillers in the last days.
“You feel that you can lose a lot – financially, in the ranking, in opportunity, if you do not go to the mandatory tournament,” Rud explained his participation in Paris. – This system needs to be viewed. On the one hand, you do not want to go to the court with trauma when someone else could take your place. On the other hand, you are reduced by a 25% annual bonus if you do not appear at the mandatory tournament. It turns out that players are forced to speak to some extent, even if they are injured or sick. It’s not very fair. ”
Since the soil season is completed, it will take a week or even two rest to try to recover by the grass season.
