I am not very much into this, but I also don’t know the specific reason for him to retire. I was googling about him and it was actually a little surprising that he decided to retire at 27. I know that he had suffered a lot of injuries. Can anyone tell me how severe was the date problem of his injuries that he had to retire so early?
Actually what is more appropriate is to withdraw rather than retire, the reason is always injured and by withdrawing from the tournament where last year he was the champion will make his ranking even worse, it is quite unfortunate because if he is fit he can become one of the strong challengers in the Wimbledon tournament later, unfortunately after his best career at the Wimbledon final two years ago, he often withdrew from tournaments due to injury.
ATP Halle, the first and second seeds advanced to the next round but unlike Medvedev who was able to finish the match by only going through two sets, Tsitsipas had to work hard to win because lost in the first set from Barrère, while Alcaraz at ATP Queens will have his first match today and facing Fils seemed like it was no obstacle for him.
