De Minaur ended up praising the “class act” of the former French No 1, who informed him an hour-and-three-quarters before they were due on court on Saturday morning that he was pulling out.“Yeah, definitely lucky.
De Minaur said he found out at about 9.15am when he was in the middle of his physical warm-up before going on-court, after the 30-year-old Pouille himself approached him to let him know he wasn’t fit to play.“I think it was a class act by him, letting me know early in the day, especially with the weather forecast showing it could be delayed for a long time,” said de Minaur.“I’m wishing him a quick recovery. And as for me, I’m probably a little bit relieved.
