Jérémy Chardy will be away from the tennis courts for a while.
Not because of injuries, but because of his vaccination.
The native of Pau, 73rd player in the world was vaccinated last August, between the Olympic Games and the US Open.
“Since I had my vaccine, I have a problem, I have been struggling.
So I can't train, I can't play, ”he told AFP.
The tricolor explains feeling severe pain all over the body as soon as he makes a physical effort.
Jérémy Chardy, 35 years old in a few months, does not know for the moment when he will be able to play again. He wondered about the origin of these pains, and went to consult two doctors. “Now I went to see two doctors, I did some tests, so I know what I have and the most important thing is to take care of myself. I even prefer to take more time to heal myself and be sure that in the future I won't have a problem, rather than trying to get back on court as quickly as possible and end up with more health problems. . In my head, it's difficult because I don't know how long it's going to last. For the moment, my season is stopped and I do not know when I will resume ”, he conceded.
The Frenchman remains unsatisfied after the Games where “he felt good”.
Jérémy Chardy stopped in the quarter-finals against the future Olympic champion, Alexander Zverev.
"It is especially frustrating that I do not have ten years to play (...) Suddenly, now I regret having had the vaccine, but I could not know", released the French who assures to rely on the advice of doctors.

At his age, Chardy is therefore aware of playing one of his last seasons: "I am 35 years old in February so for the moment I am perhaps a little bit negative but this is the first time that crosses me. mind the idea that next season may be my last.
I think about it… It's difficult because I was having fun and I wanted to play longer.
