I suspect a coaching change soon too. Tursunov did not look happy during her last match.
Some people just can't stand the stress.
Krajicek, for all his great smooth game, was an injury machine. He was out for extended periods at least 9 times.
Phillipoussis also spent many, many periods out due to injury.
CeCe Bellis as we just said.
Graf. It only makes her achievements more outstanding. She spent a lot of time injured (when she came back, she was excellent, of course).
Andres Gomez was injured a lot.

Of course there will be another coaching change or two the year. :)

Some say the injuries are a function of her body adjusting to top-tier play so abruptly, but she loses so early that she hasn't played a ton of matches. She would have probably played a lot more if she was playing ITF and 250s every week instead. But maybe the rigors of the travel, the training, the expectations, the high level of opponents have been a steep physical learning curve. Waiting to see... It certainly has been about the worst sophomore year one could imagine, but there might be a silver lining. Now she can play without as much expectation.

No... she can't play without as much expectation - because she is not playing the rest of the year due to injuries!

Many people were saying that she'll be better once the U.S. Open passes this year, as her ranking will fall, and she'll be able to find her game in smaller tournaments that have a spotlight that's less bright.
But now she's not even doing that.

There is ALWAYS some sort of problem; always some type of excuse. That's not good.
This is more of a soap opera than it is a tennis career, it seems.

Swallow your pride. Go back to the coach (and team) that took you to a USO title. You have all of the rest of this year to heal.
Get a sponsorship with FUTURO. They'll build a Swarovski wrist band for her.

I'm going with not training enough/properly, all the hallmarks are there. Her distractions will keep her from winning which will take those distractions away.

And the rhythm thing that Megan mentions. If you lose in 1R or 2R all the time, you don't get the real rhythm to get your body used to play, at least, every other day.

I just read today on a WTA article that Halep is out for the rest of the year after nose surgery to correct a breathing issue, which was news to me.

Correct a breathing issue, and a little re-touch.
It was posted somewhere in the forum.

As I said - now he's trying far too much to be like his idol and role model Nadal...

If there is nothing broken, she has next week to recover.
A sad turn, but let's hope she can play in Melbourne.
