Anderson hopes that his injury problems are sidelined and he can move forward. But recently, Anderson retired midway through his semifinal match against Andrey Rublev in Vienna. It seems to be a precautionary measure from the player who is looking ahead at this week’s Paris Masters.
“I need my knee to give me that opportunity for the next several years. Obviously, health is the biggest priority right now, but the last couple of matches it’s felt really good so that’s a very good sign.”

“We were training. We somewhat reduced it at the beginning, just from a load management, but the whole team, the whole directive, is helping me to achieve my goals, which is to get back and go further than what I have accomplished already. I’ve set big goals for myself. It’s a process to get there, but my motivation is definitely as high as it’s ever been.
Kevin Anderson will play Laslo Djere in the Paris Masters’ first round. If Anderson wins the contest, he will play Daniil Medvedev in the next round, whom he defeated in the quarterfinals of the Vienna Open last week.
