Hard blow for Krejcikova: "I don't know how long my recovery will take"
"Moments like these are never easy"... In an emotional message, Barbora Krejcikova confirmed a new injury that disrupts her season and worries her supporters.
Returning to the forefront at the US Open with a quarterfinal appearance, Barbora Krejcikova was looking to confirm this positive momentum during the Asian tour. However, she had to retire against McCartney Kessler in the third round in Beijing (1-6, 7-5, 3-0 ret.), injured in her left knee.
A relapse for the double Grand Slam champion, who had missed a large part of the season due to her back injury. This Monday, the Czech player gave an update on her social media, confirming that she will be out for an indefinite period:
"Moments like these are never easy... I was excited for this Asian tour and was looking forward to every moment on and off the court. Unfortunately, I had to cut it short earlier than expected due to an injury.
After trying yesterday, it became clear that it was more serious than I thought. I still don't know how long my recovery will take. I will return to Europe to meet with my medical team and focus on my recovery, step by step.
Even though I didn't hope the season would take this turn, I am very grateful for the incredible experiences I've had here and the amazing support I've received from you all. Every message, every word of encouragement means everything to me.
I look forward to coming back stronger, playing the game I love, and seeing all of you again soon. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
