Czech tennis player Jiri Vesley survived a serious accident in which his car was destroyed. Vesley escaped with slight neck pain. Due to the accident, he has pulled out of the Svijany Open in Liberec, where he was the top seed.

Looking at the damage to the car, Vesely was certainly lucky to be not injured in the accident.

In 2020, Vesely won his first title since 2015 at the Maharashtra Open beating Egor Gerasimov. He reached a career-high ranking of world number 35 in 2015. He is currently ranked 87 in the world. He has won two singles titles in his career.

Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti was expelled from the Toronto Masters after leaving the COVID-19 bubble. Musetti, who is ranked 60th in the world, was scheduled to play in the qualifying draw. He will be replaced by Australia’s Max Purcell in the qualifying draw.

Tournament organizers said:

Any individual leaving the controlled environment is in breach of COVID-19 protocol and will be unable to re-enter to compete at the event.

Musetti had an excellent clay court season. He pushed Novak Djokovic to 5 sets in the fourth round at the French Open. He won the first two sets against Djokovic before retiring with cramps.

After the French Open, Lorenzo Musetti completed his high school at Istituto Parini, in Cecina. He lost in the first round at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
