With Roland Garros just around the corner, get ready for our Survivors' Pool, You Can't Win Jack and Predictions contests.
For our SP players, remember: just the LAST NAME of the player, unless two players with the same last name play on the same day.

Re: Injury and Illness
Injuries don't heal that quickly, even for the top players. Ask Zverev, Raonic, Stan, Murray, Thiem...

Re: Injury and Illness
I saw that. Indeed, sad that an athlete has to retire at 27 due to such an illness.
She will always be able to claim that she reached #2 in the world; not a shabby achievement.
This reminds me of a conversation with other members about "why take the endorsements? Why be do greedy? Why do all those press conferences and get involved in off court issues?" Well, here's why. Because it can all disappear in a minute. An entire life of being dedicated to a sport can go "puff" in just one injury. You have, roughly, 10 years to make a nest and make it big enough to last you the rest of your life.
I hope she will do well in whatever she does next.

Re: Injury and Illness
Sad to hear about Kontaveit's retirement--she did mention when she came back that she was told her injury was probably permanent

Re: Injury and Illness
Unless he pulled put immediately after feeling it, an abductor injury is not going to heal in 10 days.
Let's hope it was a minor twinge.
