Pouille, a former world No. 10, suffered an Achilles injury during the ATP Challenger finals in Lille yesterday. He was behind qualifier Arthur Bouquier at 3-6, 5-3 when the injury occurred.
Initially, he dreaded the possibility of it being career-ending. However, Pouille expressed more optimism in his social media updates before and after the surgery.
“The prognosis was as expected… a complete rupture of the Achilles tendon,” Pouille stated on social media. “I am sincerely grateful for all your messages of support. I will… give my all to make a comeback.”
