ATP – Finals, ATP – Metz > Djokovic withdraws, the consequences are talking: “Rublev has just discovered an abdominal injury, so say, it's stupid. Apart from the comedy of rehearsal, it's terrible for the organizers of Moselle Open, but the ATP is struggling,” says Benoît Maylin.

The impact of Novak Djokovic's withdrawal from the Turin Masters (November 12 to 19) was directly felt for the two tournaments of the week: the ATP 250 in Metz and the ATP 250 in Belgrade.

Engaged in these tournaments but now assured of winning their ticket for the ATP Finals, Andrey Rublev and Alex de Minaur withdrew to Moselle and Serbia respectively. Officially a substitute for the Masters, Grigor Dimitrov also withdrew from Metz.

Say Casper Ruud (7^e to the Race and therefore also qualified) has still not made his decision while he has not yet gone to Metz and he must face Benjamin Bonzi this Wednesday, Rublev's package is the one that makes the most chat.

The Russian indeed played the game by beating Lorenzo Sonego for his entry into the running, 7–6(3), 7–5, before mentioning an abdominal injury.

“Who’s been talking?!” Rublev has just discovered an abdominal injury, so to speak. It's nerd. Suddenly, he is forfeited. And what will Ruud and Dimitrov do? Apart from the comedy of repetition, it is terrible for the organizers of the Moselle Open. But the ATP is struggling »blurted out journalist Benoît Maylin.
