Unfortunately, the situation with the elbow has not changed for better since yesterday. I still feel the pain. Therefore, I will have to withdraw from ATP tournament in Doha, that has been voted the best 250 tournament in 2017. I am sorry that I will not be able to play in front of my fans here. I have great memories of this tournament and the matches I played, like the final against Andy from last year. The atmosphere at the stadium is always wonderful, the organization is on the highest level, and I will surely miss it a lot. However, after the thorough consultations with the medical team, we decided to keep up with the therapies and elbow treatments.

Situacija sa laktom, nažalost, nije se promenila u odnosu na juče. I dalje osećam bol. Zato sam prinuđen da odustanem od takmičenja na ATP turniru u Dohi, koji je prošle godine proglašen za najbolji turnir iz serije 250. Žao mi je što neću biti u prilici da igram pred svojim navijačima u Kataru, odakle imam lepe uspomene. Pamtim mnoge mečeve, poput finala prošle godine protiv Endija Mareja. Atmosfera na stadionu je odlična, a organizacija je na najvišem nivou. Sve će mi to nedostajati. Međutim, posle detaljnih konsultacija sa lekarima, odlučili smo da je najbolje da nastavim sa terapijama i tretmanima lakta.
