Julien Benneteau was forced to retire at the tournament in Beijing against Andreas Seppi after he reached the final last week in Kuala Lumpur (where he was defeated in the final by Juan Mónaco), but Julien Benneteau wanted to reassure his fans via Twitter about his physical condition.
"I had to retire with a sore forearm, but the recovery is better than expected and I'll be ready to play in the final tournaments of the season in Basel and Paris-Bercy."
The thirty-year-old Frenchman, currently No.33 in the rankings, has won the doubles bronze medal at the London Olympics this year with compatriot Richard Gasquet.
