After the loss, Ruud admitted that he actually played with an injury, and he also said that the reason for this was because of the rules set by the ATP mandatory participation, "If you don't participate, you will lose a lot, whether it is prize money, points, rankings or opportunities, and for me, I know that these weeks and months will be crucial for the rest of the year and for my career." ”

"If I break my leg, I can't play, but in any case, it's tough, especially during the mandatory tournament, because the punishment is very strict, everyone else will play, get points, and you can't, and in addition, the ATP has a reward system, if you don't play in the mandatory tournament, the reward will be reduced, this system is debatable, because on the one hand you don't want to play with an injury, and on the other hand you can give up that position to someone else," Ruud said. ”

What are the penalties for not participating? Ruud said: "If you force you to play and you don't play, they will deduct 25% of your year-end bonus, which is forcing players to play with injuries, I don't think it's fair, although I can live with the pain, but some days are worse, I hope to have a few days now without painkillers and my leg heals well." ”
