Lestienne travels to Miami only to find himself out of the qualifiers
After being eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Cap Cana Challenger (Dominican Republic), Constant Lestienne, ranked 181st in the world, made the trip to Miami, where he thought he would make the cut to play in the Masters 1000 qualifiers.
However, upon arriving, he realized that his ranking did not allow him to enter the draw, as the last player to make the cut was Hady Habib, ranked 174th in the world.
On his Instagram account, he unsurprisingly expressed his frustration by posting this story: "Traveling all the way to Miami to end up just outside and not play the tournament."
