An unforseen moment in Montpellier 🇫🇷 as Quadri Aruna was forced to withdraw midway through his first-round match against Alexis Lebrun 🇫🇷 (World No. 13).
Ranked 26th in the world and widely known for his relentless fighting spirit, Aruna appeared visibly stiff and unbalanced from the start, a concern noticed by both fans and commentators.
After the first set, he was heard discussing flexibility issues with his coach, despite the discomfort he fought on as his coach encouraged him to continue and adjust his play. Aruna gave it his best, but could no longer push through after the second set, retiring due to what appeared to be a physical issue.
Having defeated Alexis 🇫🇷 twice before, Aruna 🇳🇬 came in confident, while the Frenchman was eager to claim his first win in front of his home crowd. Unfortunately, the match ended prematurely for both sides.
With Aruna’s 🇳🇬 exit, the African journey at the WTT Champions Montpellier comes to a close.
