Burel's 2025 season is likely over
Clara Burel suffered a dramatic fall against Ayla Aksu during their Billie Jean King Cup match.
She was forced to retire while leading 4-1 in the first set.
The diagnosis of this injury has been confirmed, and unfortunately for the French player, it is a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her right knee.
This type of injury sidelines any athlete who suffers it and likely marks the end of her season.
