ATP: Berdych and Raonic end season prematurely

Tomas Berdych and Milos Raonic have announced their early end of the season. While the Czechs suffer from back problems, Canadians suffer from calf injuries.

Czech tennis pro Tomas Berdych (32) ended his season prematurely due to back problems. The 2010 Wimbledon finalist, who is ranked eighteenth in the world rankings, originally wanted to start at the upcoming tournaments in Vienna and Paris.

Milos Raonic also wanted to end his tennis year at the Erste Bank Open 500 and in Paris-Bercy. However, due to a calf injury he sustained at the ATP tournament in Tokyo, the 26-year-old Canadian will not return to the field this season. The 2016 Wimbledon finalist had previously been suspended for seven weeks due to surgery on the wrist.

After a disappointing season, the former number three in the world threatens to fall from the top 15.
