It has been very difficult to accept this but I need to do what is best for next season and my long-term career. I will take this opportunity to reset, rebuild, and start the year fully fit and healthy. It has been an extremely tough year but I’m looking forward to a full and successful season in 2024.”

His resentment is truly visible in his words. Of course, not being able to play an important tournament after months of practice is devastating, but for now, it is important for him to rest as well. Further, he also shared what his plans are for the Davis Cup and how he plans to support his team.
