“I am very disappointed that I have to retire from my home tournament, that is one of my favorite tournaments of the year,” says Griekspoor on the site of the tournament. “During Roland Garros I suffered an injury that, even though I did everything to recover on time, unfortunately is not sufficient to heal to participate.”

“After consultation with the medical professionals, it is clear that playing will simply be possible next week,” said the winner of the tournament in 2023. Griekspoor (28) had to give up in his match against Alexander Zverev in the fourth round with an abdominal muscle injury.
