It’s her first semi since 2022, so I wouldn’t hand her the trophy just yet.

she is a proven champion.. I dont think this is a big deal for her

Well, I was wrong ..and right.

[ponchi101]

Can she recover in time? Big if.

[ashkor87]

Court looked fast to me, AO may be slower..

Abdominal strain--hopefully a week of rest will take care of it.

[ponchi101]

At the same time, the kind of injury that can return back in just one serve too hard.
Hope she recovers.

You say abdominal strain, I hear Venus. I hated when that happened. sidenote: Naomi has been hammering the ball this week. Just a touch more on her defense and she's there, unless this ab thing sticks around for 6 months.......

I was thinking the same thing—hopefully it doesn’t sideline her carreer like it did to Venus…
