"After a medical examination and a long discussion with my team, I decided to have arthroscopic surgery on both ankles. I believe it's the right thing to do while the Tour is on an enforced break. I will have surgery today." No professional tournaments have been played since the start of March because of the pandemic, and the ATP Tour has been suspended until at least the start of August.
