Flamboyant French star Gael Monfils could miss the Davis Cup final against Switzerland after suffering a knee injury at the Metz ATP tournament on Saturday.
Monfils was hurt in his 7-6 (8/6), 6-2 defeat to Joao Sousa in the semi-finals of the hardcourt tournament and will undergo an MRI scan on Tuesday to assess the damage.
“I did not want to get injured and that's what has happened,” said Monfils.
“I will have an MRI on Tuesday and hope that it's nothing serious.”
France will host Switzerland in Lille from November 21-23 in the Davis Cup final.
Portuguese sixth seed Sousa will face Belgium's eighth-seeded David Goffin who defeated Jan-Lennard Struff of Germany 7-6 (7/4), 6-3 in Sunday's Metz final.– AFP
