Ruusuvuori Withdraws From French Open
Emil Ruusuvuori, a Finnish tennis professional, has officially announced his withdrawal from the French Open, which is set to begin shortly. This decision was communicated via the Finnish Tennis Association's official platforms.
Player's Statement
In his recent statement, Ruusuvuori expressed his regret about not being prepared to compete at the Grand Slam level, following a challenging period that included an early exit from a second-round match at an ATP Challenger event in Zagreb.
Mental Health Challenges
This month, Ruusuvuori has been candid about his ongoing struggles with panic disorder, which have affected his ability to train effectively for major tournaments. These mental health issues have previously forced him to take a hiatus from tennis due to the emotional toll they have imposed on his career.
Finnish Representation at the Tournament
With Ruusuvuori's withdrawal, Harri Heliövaara stands as the only Finnish player at the French Open, where he will compete in the doubles event alongside his British partner, Henry Patten.
