PARIS : Felix Auger-Aliassime said he needed to prioritise his health after the ailing world number 10 crashed out of the French Open on Monday following a 6-4 6-4 6-3 defeat by Italian veteran Fabio Fognini in the opening round.
"The shoulder is not great, but that wasn't the issue today. I got a bit sick last night, didn't really sleep. That's just a reality," said Auger-Aliassime, who reached the fourth round at Roland Garros last year. "I tried to warm up. I tried to see the doctor, see what I could take, but after one set, just cramping and just can't move anymore.
Auger-Aliassime said he was hopeful of returning to action during the grasscourt swing after a break.
