The Czech Jiri Leheckawho was injured in the 1,000 Masters in Madrid and has yet to play in the Rome tournament, He will also not play as Roland Garros, second Grand Slam of the season, due to a stress fracture in a vertebra.
Lehecka, twenty-three players in the world ranking, the executioner of Rafael Nadal at the Caja Mágica in Madrid a week ago, had to leave his semi-final match of the Madrid tournament against the Canadian Felix Auger Aliassime because of back pain, when they only played six games.
The Czech player’s coach, Michal Navratil, confirmed Lehecka’s absence in Paris. “The absence is five to eight weeks,” the coach told Czech newspaper Idnes. “Jirka is depressed; it is not a minor injury,” he said after learning the results of the tests the tennis player underwent.
“The worst is that he will not be able to do any physical activity at the moment. The recovery will be more complicated. I don’t know how the treatment will evolve, but we will definitely not reach Roland Garros. The idea now is to try to be in Wimbledon, but it depends on the evolution Being in London is also a mystery now,” added Navratil.
