Video - Rinderknech injures himself kicking an advertising sign at Roland-Garros
These images will probably go round the world. Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech was forced to retire (3-6, 7-6, 6-1, 5-0) on Thursday evening in the 2nd round of the French Open, after injuring his own big toe by tapping into an advertising sign fixed to the courtside wall (see video below). He was 2-0 down at the start of the 4th set.
Before that, he had led 2 sets to 0 against Argentina's Tomas Martin Etcheverry, but had been unable to find a solution since the start of the 3rd set. A situation that led to his frustration and the consequences that followed.
