Ruud withdraws from Mallorca tournament, Rinderknech enters main draw
Next week, the final warm-up tournaments for Wimbledon will take place on grass, including the ATP 250 in Mallorca. In Spain, Casper Ruud will ultimately not be present. Indeed, the tournament organizers confirmed the withdrawal of the Norwegian, ranked 16th in the world, in recent hours.
Absent from the tour since his second-round defeat at Roland-Garros against Nuno Borges, the winner of this season's Madrid Masters 1000—who was unable to compete at full strength against the Portuguese player in Paris due to a left knee injury—has been forced to delay his return to competition.
If he recovers before Wimbledon, he will arrive in London without any preparation on grass. In any case, this withdrawal benefits Arthur Rinderknech. Currently competing in the ATP 500 Queen's tournament, where he has reached the quarterfinals, the Frenchman, ranked 80th in the world, is now guaranteed a spot in the main draw in Mallorca.
Hamad Medjedovic has also earned the right to enter the main draw due to this significant change. Following the withdrawals of Gaël Monfils, Jordan Thompson, Alejandro Tabilo, and Kei Nishikori, Ruud becomes the fifth player to pull out of the tournament this year.
At this stage, Ben Shelton, Félix Auger-Aliassime, and Alex Michelsen are the top headliners in the Iberian city. On the French side, Alexandre Muller, Benjamin Bonzi, and Corentin Moutet are also confirmed to participate.
