Jacob Fearnley replaces injured Tommy Paul at Stockholm Open after recovery from rib issue
Defending champion Tommy Paul has decided to withdraw from the 2025 Stockholm Open, still struggling to get over a series of injuries. Paul first picked up an abdominal injury in the French Open second round, before later damaging a tendon in his foot at Wimbledon. He came back for the Cincinnati Open, but then had another setback during his third-round match against Alexander Bublik at the US Open. The American also pulled out of the Shanghai Masters, and there’s no clear timeline yet for when he might return. Jacob Fearnley to feature at the Stockholm Open Since his second-round exit to Alexander Zverev at the US Open, Jacob Fearnley has been sidelined with a rib injury. This setback kept him out of Great Britain’s Davis Cup tie against Poland and also ruled him out of the Masters 1000 event in Shanghai. However, he seems to have put those issues behind him and is currently back on court, playing in a Challenger tournament in Roanne, France.
