Amelie Mauresmo thought that her injury issues were over, but unfortunately that was not the case for her in Brisbane. She was injured in the second game against Marion Bartoli and lasted 3 more before calling her trainer over and eventually defaulting.
On Friday, January 9th, Mauresmo commented about the injury.
“I kept going [initially] but I couldn’t really push off the serve like I really wanted. Even though it’s frustrating and it’s not how you want to end a tournament, I guess it’s more reasonable to make sure I’m 100 per cent for Melbourne.”
She still is holding out hope that all will be okay for her to compete at the Australian Open.
“I just hope it’s not too bad and I can be good for Melbourne. At worst I’d hope that nine days … would be enough to make it feel much better.”
