“It’s okay now, but the drone hit badly and broke half the nail. It bled a lot and throbbed painfully. I think that was what made me so stressed,” the 23-year-old told Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter.
Moregard, who plays right-handed, said the incident in his hometown of Eslov did not affect his preparations for the World Championships in Doha starting on May 17.
