Adrian Mannarino left to play "without racket and shoes" at Stockholm Open after airline loses bag
ATPTuesday, 17 October 2023 at 19:00
With just a few hours before his debut at the Stockholm Open, Adrian Mannarino suffered the loss of his racquets and shoes at the hands of the airline.
World No. 24 Adrian Mannarino entered the Stockholm Open as the second seed and advanced directly to the second round of the tournament with a bye. This comes as a relief to Adrian Mannarino, who lamented that the airline lost his tennis bag with his racquets and shoes.
The 35-year-old Frenchman competed in the Shanghai Open Masters 1000 last week but suffered a tough defeat of 6-3, 6-0 against Andrey Rublev. The long journey from China to Europe with Air France has left Mannarino, for the time being, in less-than-ideal conditions for the tournament due to the absence of his equipment.
He still has a day to find a solution, but Mannarino seems resigned to playing without his racquets, as he shared on social media.
Well @AirFranceFR after 3 days i think it’s time to find my tennis bag now. Playing a tournament without rackets and shoes is not easy ..” Mannarino wrote on X (former Twitter).
In his second-round match, Adrian Mannarino's opponent is yet to be determined, and it will be the winner of the match between Thiago Seyboth Wild (77th) and Roman Safiulin (42th).
Some of the notable players in the main draw of the tournament include the first seed Holger Rune, the British player Dan Evans, and the American J.J. Wolf, as well as veterans Gael Monfils and Stan Wawrinka.
The Frenchman is currently enjoying a great year in 2023, nearing his best ranking, and he has won two ATP 250 titles this year at the Newport Open and the Astana Open. Additionally, he reached the final of the Mallorca Open, where he was defeated by the American Christopher Eubanks (33th).

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
