This is not the year for Jaume Munar due to the various injuries that have plagued him throughout the season. First, it was in February when he was at the peak of his career, and his right arm was sidelined for two months. Then, just as he was regaining his form, he suffered a tooth infection, and now as he competes in an indoor European tour where he typically performs at a high level, it seems he has injured himself again at the ATP 250 in Brussels.

The Balearic player will not play his match against Arthur Fils tomorrow, so the Frenchman automatically advances to the quarter-finals without having played a single match. This will help him continue to accumulate the necessary points to confirm his participation in the ATP Finals.

For now, the reasons for Munar's withdrawal are unknown, whether due to injury or simply precaution. Yesterday he defeated Federico Cinà 6-4, 6-3 and showed no signs of injury. It remains to be seen how the Spaniard will reformulate his schedule, as one of his end-of-year goals is to rejoin the Spanish Davis Cup team for the finals in Turin at the end of November.

“This year has been very difficult for me at times due to physical issues. I have suffered a lot with my arm, and then due to the loss of continuity in training, which causes minor pains to appear in other areas... I worked with my team on many methods, but at certain moments, I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. I decided, before the US Open, to change my approach: to learn to manage the situation I was in instead of looking for solutions,” said the Santanyí player in an interview with Punto de Break last September.
