Absolute drama unfolded this afternoon in the final of the Challenger 125 in Lille. Two local tennis players were facing off for the title, Lucas Pouille and Arthur Bouquier, with the score on the brink of going to a third set (6-3, 3-5). A drop shot by Bouquier led to a bad reaction from Pouille, causing him to fall and sparking concern in the stands. It took only a few minutes to realize the severity of the injury, forcing him to retire.

Minutes later, wearing bandages and using crutches, the former world number 10 appeared at the trophy ceremony delivering the worst news: a ruptured Achilles tendon. However, the real shock came with his following statement: 'This may have been my last match'. A painful image that puts the 30-year-old player in an extreme situation. Hopefully, he will have a positive recovery and that statement does not come true in the future. Best wishes!
