In this calendar year he played forty matches in singles, but he will not add more. Jiří Veselý continues to work with a hamstring injury, which will rule him out for any other tournament in the current tennis year. The twenty-nine-year-old tennis player informed him of his health conditions on social media.
“I sincerely hoped my injury would heal. Unfortunately, I had to wrap up this season and give my body time to recover healthily. I have been suffering from a hamstring tear since April, which I recovered in July at the Newport tournament, “explained Veselý, who also missed the September Davis Cup playoffs due to an injury.
Full recovery is hampered by too much exercise. “Even though I am doing everything possible, I am still suffering after the heavy loads and is not healing as expected. I will do everything to be ready for the new season,” added the former player in the top 100 of the ATP rankings, who since April she has suffered from health problems.
Veselý thus says goodbye to the current season. Even though he failed to defend his title in Pune, India, and dropped out of the TOP 100 after a long time, he then showed up with great performances in Dubai. Despite the qualifiers, he reached the main stage of the tournament, where he even reached the final. There, however, the Russian Andrei Rublev was not enough. However, the elite names Robert Bautista, Denis Shapovalov, Marin Čilič or Novak Djokovic ended up on Veselý’s racket. Since then, however, he has not been successful anymore.
