Cornet, following his retirement: "the whistles almost hurt me more than the injury itself"

On a run at 4-2 in the third I felt pain on a forehand slip.

The next day I woke up with pain,

She was there during the warm-up.

I still have a fairly large tear in the adductor.

I couldn't move around the court.

Afterwards, it was my decision to return to the field, I had never forfeited a Grand Slam, nor abandoned either.

So it was not possible for me not to at least try on what I could give today.

But after warming up, I saw that even with the strap I was in pain. .. Afterwards, she really didn't let me breathe either, it was also largely because of her that I lost 6/0 3/0 and not just because of the injury.

But the pain, at some point, it doesn't make too much sense to continue.

I have never declared in Grand Slam, nor abandoned.

It's sad to end like this.

There are people who have dared to boo me on the court when I give up, when it's not with a light heart.

The French public surprises me, but not always in a good way,

It hurt me almost more than the injury itself.

Afterwards, we must not generalize, it is perhaps a handful of people in the stadium.

It can be 20, 30 or 40 people making noise, it doesn't mean anything but when you see what I have been giving on the pitch for all these years, how much it means to me.

It would have been much easier for me not to go on the court, not to make myself vulnerable with this injury.

I was true to who I am.

Yes, it sucks because it's unfair.

It hurts but, again, maybe most people are sad for me and understand what's happening, but this handful of morons, it hurts my heart.
