Desolate and without an explanation for what happened. That's how Félix Auger-Aliassime appeared in a press conference after having to withdraw from the 2026 Australian Open due to severe cramps. "I started having them at the end of the second set. I thought they would pass, but with each movement I made, they hit me, even when serving, in the hamstrings and calves of both legs. On the flight back home, I will have many questions to ask myself and decisions to make to prevent this from happening again. I will review my diet, my hydration habits... I don't know. I can't stop thinking about it right now. I have overcome difficult situations in my career, but this is a great disappointment," the Canadian concluded.
