At the Nottingham Open, the 19-year-old was spotted competing against Viktorija Golubic and holding onto her side.

She need pain medicine and a medical timeout at the beginning to get through it.

However, she ultimately had to give up and retire, which marked her third match withdrawal since her triumph at the US Open in September 2021.

She said she will get scanned to determine what was wrong after quitting from this match, but she wasn’t sure if she would be well enough to compete at Wimbledon.

The initial game was utterly strange. “I think I pulled something, but I’m not really sure what happened exactly,” she said. “I recently left the court with the most unusual injury. I doubt there was any other way I could have handled it. That brings it to an end.

“I have to get scanned first. I’m not going to turn into a “Google doctor.” I’ll have a look at it. Then, we’ll observe the outcome.

“My knowledge of Wimbledon is zero. It could have just locked up and gone into a spasm, in which case it would hurt like hell for a couple of days. I’m not certain. I’m not competent to diagnose myself. I’ll get it looked at.

She said that she hasn’t been able to take a break, but she didn’t think her current back problem was to blame.

She went on, “I’m trying to keep the positive attitude I’ve been having.” “I’ve prepared for this competition quite well. I believe there were signs of contentment even when I was playing more aggressively and doing other things. I was content and relaxed. It’s just bad luck.

It’s really unfortunate, and I’m disappointed, for sure. Though I haven’t actually, there are moments when I feel like I’ve been working so hard that all you want to do is take a vacation.
