World number 10, Felix Auger-Aliassime, attributed his first-round defeat at the French Open to health concerns, emphasising the need to prioritise his well-being. The Canadian tennis star suffered a 4-6, 4- 6, 3-6 loss to experienced Italian player Fabio Fognini on Monday, abruptly ending his campaign at Roland Garros.
Auger-Aliassime's shoulder problem, which forced him to withdraw from the Lyon quarter-finals last week, persisted during his match against Fognini.
