VIDEO. Arthur Rinderknech forced to retire after hitting a low wall with his foot: more fear than harm for the Frenchman

Rinderknech pourra s'en vouloir… Capture d'écran X.

While he had to retire during his second round at Roland-Garros against Tomas Martin Etcheverry on Thursday May 30 after hitting a low wall, Arthur Rinderknech would ultimately not suffer a serious injury.

This is what we call – really – shoot yourself in the foot. In the fight against the Argentinian Tomas Martin Etcheverry, Thursday evening at Roland-Garros, the Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech spent his nerves on a low wall demarcating the limits of the field, on the court N.7.< /p>

Without going any harder than that, the Varois then injured his foot, initially asking for help from a physiotherapist before giving up that the score was 6-3, 7-6 [8], 1-6, 0-5.

No fracture after all

"I was just messing around. I shot into the wall, a little annoyance, he explained to our colleagues from L’Equipe.&amp ;nbsp;I hope I didn’t fracture my toe. Afterwards, I couldn’put my foot on the ground…"

But this Friday morning, it seems that the news is a little more reassuring for the adopted Breton, since no fracture has been diagnosed, continue our colleagues from the sports daily .

The key now is to know the exact severity of his injury since Rinderknech is only a handful of points away from Olympic qualification. He is also included on the entry list for the Challenger tournament in Surbiton (grass) in England, just like Montpellier Arthur Cazaux.
