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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>However, after the thorough consultations with the medical team, we decided to keep up with the therapies and elbow treatments.<\/p>\n<p>Only when I&#8217;m 100% ready to play, I will be able to come back.
