The French Open 2021 has begun and the tennis fraternity is excited to get the second Grand Slam event of the season underway. All the top players are in the French capital and eager to begin their proceedings. The tournament is being held from the 30th of may and will be wrapped up on the 13th of June.

Unfortunately, Australian tennis player John Millman has withdrawn from the event. He picked up a last-minute injury, forcing him to withdraw from the French Open 2021. The Australian player injured his back during his training session prior to the first-round match he was scheduled to play on Monday.

John Millman bows out of the French Open 2021 in an unfortunate manner

Millman was supposed to face Italian tennis player Gianluca Mager. It would have been their first meeting and the Australian number two player would have fancied his chances of proceeding further into the event. Due to Millman’s withdrawal, German tennis player Peter Gojowczyk will replace him and compete in the opening round match.

As there is yet a lot of tennis to play in the season, Millman will do all it takes to get fit and compete in the remainder of the tournaments. In this season so far, the Australian athlete has played a number of tournaments on the clay courts. Although he has not been able to go far, he has registered some impressive wins.
