"It's a stomach problem. I actually wanted to play, but it was not possible. When you have restricted movement, its no use to play and lose. It started last week in Thailand, some virus, and it continued here this week too. I'm sorry for the tournament and the spectators, but it's not possible for me to play," he said.
