ATP - TOKYO

Dear fans

I am really disappointed to have to withdraw from the AIG Japan Open, starting next week. I was very much looking forward to returning to Tokyo as the defending champion and seeing all the great fans at Ariyake stadium. Unfortunately I have still not fully physically recovered from the US Open and Davis Cup. I have been working hard with my team, especially my physiotherapist, in order to make it in time for the tournament in Tokyo . I am sorry to say that at this point my body is not ready yet and I need to rest for these extra days in order to avoid the risk of serious injury.

I hope you can understand my decision and I am looking forward to making up for it in the future!

Kind regards

Roger

It is great to see your dicipline and I am sure it is an example to other players. No one knows your body better than yourself and we as fans want to see you win all the important tournaments. God Bless.

I totally agree. We don't want you to be injured with Madrid and Paris still to come and not forgetting your defence of the Masters Cup. Take it easy - recover well. We look forward to seeing you back on our screens soon.

Dear Roger
I'm sorry to hear that your recent activity has taken so much out of you, and I'm really sorry for your fans in Japan - they had been counting the days to your return from the moment you walked off the court with the title last year...
But in the end, all your true fans - including those who will miss you in Tokyo - care first and foremost about your health and well-being.
We support any wise decision you make that helps you remain healthy throughout the season, and in the long run will help you prolong your career and continue to enjoy your tennis without burnout or injury.

Have a good break and come back to us fresh, well-rested, and ready to defend your #1. We look forward to your return on the courts of Madrid.
Best wishes and lots of love,
Christina
