Arthur Rinderknech has officially withdrawn from the upcoming Adelaide tournament. This decision comes as he aims to prioritize his physical well-being early in the tennis season.
Reason for Withdrawal
The French tennis player recently participated in the United Cup, where he engaged in two demanding matches. He spent nearly seven hours on the court, totaling 6 hours and 44 minutes of play. This strenuous schedule included a loss to Swiss player Stan Wawrinka, followed by a challenging victory over Italy’s Flavio Cobolli.
Focus on Recovery
Rinderknech’s withdrawal is a strategic choice, allowing him to rest and recover before the Australian Open. By stepping back from the Adelaide tournament, he aims to enhance his performance for the first Grand Slam of the year.
Seeding Advantage
Rinderknech’s decision to withdraw also means he will arrive in Melbourne with a new seeded status. This development could provide a more favorable draw and increase his confidence as he prepares for the major event.
