That is insane, and there is no way it can be due to injuries of relevance. If that were the case, she would have been on IR way too much.
Zheng is really something..I, atleast, have been overlooking her..maybe she is the one to challenge Swiatek!
I believe they are saying it's a knee injury. Her MTO was in the first set when she was down 2-5 and didn't look like it was that serious. And she was not treated before she retired from the match. Her knee wasn't taped, and nothing else was either. She wasn't limping, she wasn't hobbled, she wasn't moving slow between points or favoring anything and she was still chasing balls down like she typically would. She wasn't playing in a limited way at all. This retirement came out of nowhere.
Camila simply couldn't miss in the second and third sets. Sabalenka was nothing more than a spectator after the first set. It was brutal.
So it was Giorgi playing great and not Sabalenka misfiring? 1 and 0 after the first set was hard for me to believe when I woke up this morning.
I was doing other things around the house at the time. But my sense of the match was that, if Sabalenka got her racquet on the ball, the error was forced by Camila's pace of shot. Perhaps someone else watched more closely.
Definitely Giorgi playing great. She was a freight train. In the zone that we typically only see from her every once in a while on a hard or grass court. Surprising, but yeah, she was on fire today.

This is wrong. Badosa retired 7 times prior to this Roland Garros. Maybe Puig counted juniors, qualification, challengers, etc.patrick wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 4:58 pmPlease provide Badosa 25 times she has retiredponchi101 wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 2:32 pm Monica Puig is pointing out that, with Badosa's exit (after Sabalenka's), there is only one top 10 player left in the draw.

Even if Juniors, Challengers, Qualies, etc. are counted, 25 in-match retirements is still excessive for a 24 year old who is supposed to be in very good physical condition.mick1303 wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 5:31 pmThis is wrong.

I will trust you more than Monica, although she has been fairly reliable. I thought it was too much, but since she is broadcasting for ESPN, I thought somebody must have fed her the info.mick1303 wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 5:31 pmThis is wrong.

An average of 1 retirement per year isn’t excessive IMO. She turned pro 7 years ago.ponchi101 wrote:patrick wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 4:58 pmPlease provide Badosa 25 times she has retiredponchi101 wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 2:32 pm Monica Puig is pointing out that, with Badosa's exit (after Sabalenka's), there is only one top 10 player left in the draw.

7 times is still considerable.
