Q. Could you just let us know how and when it happened, please?
RF: Yeah, so bad back really. I've had it for a couple days now. Sort of came about in the Soderling match;
went away for the next match against Cilic, but came back during that match and hasn't gone away since.
You know, usually overnight and maybe with painkillers you sort of get over it, but just feel like, you know,
I just can't play the way it is right now. I mean, you can hit balls, you know,
but you can't play professional tennis against the best in the world, you know.
So it's also in a way a precaution, but at the same time it's ‑‑
I'd like to say it's my first time I've pulled out of a tournament after I started a tournament.
I pulled out in the past before, like in Stockholm or like the day before in Basel one time when I had a bad leg.
This is the first time ever I've pulled out during a tournament, so it feels like ‑‑ it feels bad.
I don't like to do it. Feel bad for the tournament and for the fans. I hope I get well soon, so that's really it. Q. Is there any concern about Shanghai? What prognosis have you been given about how quickly it'll recover?
RF: I got to do all sorts of different checks and stuff. But usually the back is something that takes a few days and it's better again.
I mean, I've had a lot of back pain over all the years playing tennis, so it's not like the first time.
It's just the first time it's acute during a tournament and it makes me sort of pull out.
I'll check it out for the next few days. The flight is scheduled for Monday.
I hope I can recover until then, otherwise I'll postpone that. I'm confident and I'm positive
that hopefully it's going to get better in the next few days.Q. What happened? Was it something that happened in the Soderling match?
RF: Soderling match on a serve I just felt something sort of really stiffening up in my back;
played through it. Wasn't ‑‑ I mean, I took painkillers there.
But then against Cilic yesterday I had to run for a forehand, you know, in the second set.
The last few games of the match I really had to sort of just like change my positioning for returning and change my serve.
Just had to play and really try to keep the points short and not trying to defend.
So I felt that something was bad, but I didn't expect ‑‑ I expected to sort of get better overnight, which I always have done.
Just disappointing getting up this morning and feeling this way,
because I knew if it feels the same like last night I probably wouldn't be able to play.
I can't take a chance, you know, over a back, so I just want to play it safe and then hopefully be fine for Shanghai again. ソダーリン戦でサーブの時に違和感を感じたらしいです。
鎮痛剤を飲んでチリッチ戦に臨み、最初はOKだったのに、2ndsetでFHにふられているうちにまた痛くなってしまった。
リターンのポジションやサーブを変え、最後の2~3ゲームはポイントを短くするようにしていたそうです。
・・・・・ウ~ン、確かに昨日はなんとなく妙な感じがする試合でした。悪くはないけど、リズムにのれてないというか、フラットというか。。
カメラにサインする時も笑顔が少ないような気がしました。まあ、こんな日もあるか、と思って寝たんですが。。
上海行きのフライトは月曜の予定だそうです。2~3日様子を見て場合によっては延期するかもしれないと。
Rogiも大会途中での棄権は初めてで本当に残念に思っている様子です。
彼自身も望んでいるように、上海までには良くなりますように
