It&#8217;s mainly affected when I move. It&#8217;s difficult to compete in the match without having to move. This is tennis. This is not darts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The pain was very big. I&#8217;ve gone through pain during matches in the past, and I endured pain, but this was clearly too much to handle\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I had to take the difficult decision to do what I did. I felt it at the second game of the match. I actually felt it in the warm-up with my serve. Warming up on my serve, I felt very irritated and lots of pain hitting me on my back..<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s very unfortunate. I&#8217;ve had two editions here in Turin where I had to withdraw from the tournament. Never happened to me before that I had to withdraw.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It definitely hurts me a lot because this is the tournament that means the most to me, including the Grand Slams.
