Yeah, I saw. My first thought was maybe now Shelton will find a way to beat him... unless it's another filler 250/500 event.

Withdrawals from Houston, Bucharest and Marrakech
There’s been a flood of withdrawals from these tournaments. May not all be injury related but the ones that are include Monteiro (R leg injury), Faria (bone edema in his foot), Shang (still recovering from foot surgery).
Likely to be something up with Passaro (not played since Buenos Aires, not sure why).

Update on Michelsen: He played Miami, but revealed that he lost 15 lbs in weight after coming down with food poisoning in Acapulco and a suspected virus in IW.

Rune and Fritz both pulled out of UTS in Rimes (knee injury and abdominal injury respectively) and then Fritz also withdrew from Monte Carlo.
Hurkacz is the other big name to withdraw from Monte Carlo (not played since IW, lower back trouble).
Van deZandschulp withdrew from qualies in Monte Carlo (viral infection), Nishioka and Zhang were among other players to withdraw from qualies (ongoing shoulder problem for Nishioka, not sure about Zhang).

 

[FilipoSVK]

Marozsan withdrew from Bucharest (L ankle injury).

Will he even play his match against Monfils today? Their match is still scheduled, but concerns should be there.

Marozsan came through Monte Carlo qualies convincingly, beating Bergs and Bellucci in straight sets (a beatdown of Bellucci 6-1, 6-2) so seems like he's recovered.

Rune and Fritz both pulled out of UTS in Nîmes (knee injury and abdominal injury respectively) and then Fritz also withdrew from Monte Carlo. Hurkacz is the other big name to withdraw from Monte Carlo (not played since IW, lower back trouble).

Hurtcatch has been injured in one way or another since Wimby '24. Can't catch a break (of serve).
On tha Fritz has had that recurring ab issue before. Not sure that's an easy fix getting older.

Side note: Osteosori hurt his rib during Money-Carload after dubz match. Shaleton is not at fault & was not mentioned or implied as such.

[Federinka]

What the fuck is the thread name? Injurati? You mean Illuminati?
I know a little Spanish and I'm sure "injurati" does not even mean anything remotely close to "injured".

Thread was started by @USATP, who likes wordplay and uses language a little differently to most other people! However, I think in this instance it might be from the Latin.

1. Dang, Shang. Didn't realize it's been so long. I wonder if he'll look to return in earnest during the HCs, especially the Asian swing?
2. What is going on with MyHatch? So many retirements, it's giving AARP & Social Security. Wonder if he'll spill the tea later.
3. Yeah, I read the Reservoiri ATP article. Made me think about what Garcia said about her retirement from the sport.

 

[USATP]

@artoisdesouza Given the injury withdrawals of Gaston & now Fils, where does RG stand heading into the second week?
