ウィンブルドン選手権の開幕まであと数日に迫る中、著名なテニス選手3名が調整のための前哨戦からの欠場を発表した。
テイラー・フリッツは、自身が4度の優勝を誇るイーストボーン国際からの欠場を表明した。同選手は、ウィンブルドンに向けて万全の体調を整える必要があるとし、今シーズンを通して悩まされている膝の腱炎の影響を理由に挙げている。
ノバク・ジョコビッチは、ロンドンで開催されたジョルジオ・アルマーニ・テニス・クラシックでのカレン・ハチャノフとのエキシビションマッチを直前でキャンセルした。公式な理由は明かされていないが、同日の朝にはグラスコートで練習する姿が確認されていた。
ジョアン・フォンセカもイーストボーン国際を欠場した。SNSを通じて、右肩に軽い違和感があったため、予防措置として決断したと説明。19歳のブラジル人選手は、万全の状態でウィンブルドンに臨むことを目指している。
テニスファンやジャーナリストの間では、イーストボーン国際などの前哨戦におけるフリッツ、フォンセカ、ジョコビッチの欠場について議論が広がっている。怪我による準備不足への懸念が示される一方、フリッツがウィンブルドンを優先した判断や、フォンセカの肩の状態についても注目が集まっている。
