Michael Llodra will not be participating in the upcoming Tokyo tournament after being involved in a road accident on Friday. The tennis player had just left Orléans in his vehicle when he was hit by a car coming from the opposite direction. Fortunately, he was wearing his seat belt, and his sturdy car provided some protection. Llodra spent three hours in the hospital due to severe back pain resulting from the accident.
It’s noteworthy that Llodra was already in the process of recovering from a back injury, and this recent incident adds to his physical challenges. Despite the setback, he expressed optimism, stating, “But I don’t think it’s serious.” The accident has forced him to withdraw from the Tokyo tournament, and his focus will likely be on recuperating from both the recent incident and his ongoing back issues.
