Čilić odustao od nastupa u Indiji na otvaranju sezone

 Marin Čilić neće nastupiti na ATP turniru Tata Open Maharashtra u indijskom gradu Puneu.

Nova teniska sezona počinje 31. prosinca, a uz ovaj turnir, tenisači će nastupiti i u Brisbaneu te Dohi, dok tenisačice očekuju turniri u Brisbaneu, Shenzhenu i Aucklandu.

Žao mi je što moram objaviti da se povlačim s Tata Opena. Iskreno se ispričavam navijačima i organizatorima. Nadao sam se povratku, no bolovi u koljenu su se pojačali. Ne mogu doći na turnir znajući da nisam 100% spreman. Nedostajat će mi proslava Nove godine u Indiji, no nadam se da ću se vratiti sljedeće godine. Sretni blagdani svima i veselim se da ću vas vidjeti u Australiji, objavio je Čilić putem Instagrama.

I am sad to announce I have had to pull out of the @maharashtraopen. My sincerest apologies to the fans and organizers. I was looking forward to returning, however, my knee pains that began toward the end of the season have escalated. Treatments during the short off season have been helping but there is still a ways to go and I cannot go into this tournament knowing I am not currently able to give 100%. I will miss celebrating New Year’s in India this year as I have done for so many years now, but I hope to continue my New Year’s tradition there next year! Happy Holidays to all and I look forward to seeing many of you in Australia! 😊💪🏼
