Not sure if this got mentioned, but Murray has also pulled out of ATP Cup and the AO with ongoing recovery of pelvic injury.

Djoker’s draw really will be the main story at AO 2020..If someone like Medvedev falls into his qtr..he could wear him down or dethroned him , IMO.

Kei Nishikori has withdrawn from the AO due to a ongoing right elbow injury.

Kei Nishikori has withdrawn from the AO due to a ongoing right elbow injury.

There's a guy who can't catch a break. Of all the players we call "Lost Gen," I think Nishikori could have won a Major, if not for terrible luck with injuries. I think his time has passed now, though.

Indeed his body is made of glass,he did have a chance to win a GS at the USO 2014 though Cilic was too good on the day.I agree with your thoughts his time has passed winning a major.

Sorry to hear about Kei—gets injured as often as Delpo it almost seems. I hope he has a healthy new year after this setback.i like watching him play.

 

[isabelle]

injured Pouille could be back in Montpelier

 

[Carol]

At least something very nice by Kyrgios though he is not the only one, De Minaur, Stosur and Millman too

Look what De Minaur says

Del Potro won’t play AO

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Thanasi Kokkinakis just tweeted he has some health concerns which I need to take care of and will have to miss the AO and Aussie summer of tennis.

This young man cannot take a trick health wise.

 

[don_fabio]

Sad for Delpo he won't play in AO, but maybe is better for him to come back slowly with some 250 tournaments, and Kokkinakis looks like he is playing healthy 3 weeks per season. It's a shame, he's got potential.

 

[isabelle]

poor Delpo, will we see him back one day ?
