Enough to bring a tear to the eye. Happy for her

Re: Injury and Illness
Calf tear, at that level of competition, is one month. It will be difficult for her to be ready for RG.

Re: Injury and Illness
That’s awful. I watched a bit of the match and Kerber had no chance. Can’t believe she’s through

Re: Injury and Illness
Kerber was playing much better in the 2nd set - the 2nd set was a total toss-up at the time it ended.
Halep's injury was bizarre. I saw absolutely no indication of it until she could barely walk.
It wasn't like she was running for a ball when it happened - she was basically immobile, returning serve. By all appearances, it seemed like it was a cramp - because cramps just suddenly creep up on you at any given moment, whereas muscle tears almost always occur when exerting the muscle in question beyond its physical capacity.
Even the pain she seemed in seemed very consistent with a cramp. I was fully expecting her to ride it out over the course of a couple of minutes, while hydrating and eating a banana, and come back to the court.
Quite strange.
Have to say, as well, that Kerber was quite nice to Halep when it happened. At first, Kerber was kind of in shock, because the pain seemed so severe. But then she got a chair for Halep to rest her leg on, brought some ice for her leg, and stayed with her throughout the 10-15 minutes it took. Then, when it was time for them to leave the courts, she packed Halep's racquets into her bag and carried the bag for a bit before giving it to what seemed to be a masked Darren Cahill.

Re: Injury and Illness
I was wondering what's going on with Danielle Collins, having not seen her in the clay court tournaments. She had surgery 7 weeks ago and plans to come back at RG, where she made the QF last year and lost to Kenin.

Re: Injury and Illness
Endometriosis is no joke for a woman. I wish Collins the best.
Borna also has back issues. Wishing him the best.

Re: Injury and Illness
Rap-induced injury, or simply decided that Roland Garros wasn't offering enough prize money to be worth the effort?
Or perhaps he had booked a recording studio for the same time, and it can't be changed?

Re: Injury and Illness
Taylor Fritz tore a meniscus on match point during his R2 match and needs surgery. He's hoping to be back for Wimbledon.
