Swiatek had to stop playing during the third set against Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina in a match that started late Wednesday evening.
바카라I felt pain in my right thigh. It was pretty sudden. At the beginning I didn바카라t really know if it was serious or not,바카라 Swiatek said. 바카라We did an examination with the physio afterwards. It shouldn바카라t be anything serious, so I바카라m pretty positive that I바카라ll be back soon.바카라
Swiatek will be aiming for a third French Open title 바카라 and second straight 바카라 when the clay-court Grand Slam begins in 10 days.
바카라To be ready for Roland Garros I need to recover right now. I바카라m going to take couple of days off. 바카라Š Since Stuttgart I wasn바카라t really able to recover with that tight schedule that we have on WTA,바카라 Swiatek said, referring to a tournament in Germany last month.
Swiatek won the French Open in 2020 and 2022. She was also a two-time defending champion in Rome and was on a 14-match winning streak at the Foro Italico.
It was 2-2 in the third when Swiatek stopped after more than two hours of play. She won the first set 6-2 before Rybakina took the second set 7-6 (3).
During the second-set tiebreaker, Swiatek grasped her right knee after shifting directions a few times behind the baseline. Close to tears, she took a medical timeout after the set and left the court. When she returned, her upper right thigh was bandaged. Then after four more games, she retired.
