After a few minutes he returned, announcing that he would not be able to continue. From the images broadcast, it was clear that he was struggling to even lift his right shoulder . The leader of the ATP rankings, very sorry for him, will now have two days to prepare for the quarterfinal match against the American Ben Shelton.
