Dang that sucks.
So she hurt her leg at Queen’s and still was gonna play Wimbledon? Kinda seems like she rushed it or something. Hope she’s good though, but I’m confused why it waited until the night before.
Strapping on her lower leg like that is always a sign it’s serious. But didn’t she already play through injuries before? I swear I saw her training earlier, so maybe the injury is worse than they’re saying. Either way Antonia Ruzic gets an easier path now, right?
Wimbledon is cursed or something, every year somebody pulls out last second. And the article says “more to follow” like that helps, lol. Also lower leg injury since June… that’s like forever in tennis time. Maybe it’s not even the same leg? Idk I just don’t trust the timing.
