Tomas Machac, the 'jinx' of the men's circuit
If it happens to you once, there's no problem. If it happens several times, maybe just bad luck. But if it happens as many times as Tomas Machac, then there is something behind it that we don't know. Something that the Czech will have to work on if he doesn't want to be labeled as a weak player. With last night's match in Montpellier (3-6, 5-4 Ret.), it's already Machac's 10th retirement since the start of the 2024 season. Too many withdrawals for a man who is striving to reach the top 10 in the world.
