A Top 15 will not play Wimbledon and instead will enter a historic tennis player

A few days after the beginning of Wimbledon (It will begin next Monday, June 30), it was confirmed that one of the professional circuit figures will not dispute the tournament: Arthur Fils (15th world ranking). It was announced that the French tennis player will not play the tournament at All England because he failed to recover from the back injury he suffered in Roland Garros.

After several weeks to try to recover from the damage that took him out of the round of 16 of the France Open (Fils did not go out to play after passing Jaume Munar in Third Ronda), Arthur will finally not be able to defend the fourth round reached in 2024.

In this way, despite the bad news that implies the decline of one of the best tennis players, and that can be done strong on this surface, a historical tennis player will tell the main picture in his place: Fabio Fognini (127 °).

The former number 9 of the planet, and winner of nine titles in the professional circuit, will seek to settle the pending account that he has in the Major of the United Kingdom: it is the only Grand Slam in which he could not reach the second week of competition (round of 16).
