There was some virus that got a lot of people sick starting a couple years ago and still does today. The name of it is on the tip of my tongue.........
Can you taste it?
Tastes a bit like chicken and a bit like covfefe.

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

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.

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

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.
