:eek: Although it's actually not a huge surprise. On the Belgian TV news, she was already hinting last night that she did feel some pain.

What's her injury? :sad:

Pain in some muscles. I guess it's a problem with her back because she told Belgian TV last night that she had pain in her back.

what?! geez... what's gonna happen for AO...

I think that everybody will be OK for AO- They don't want to take any risk of major injury. they won't quit like that in the AO unless there is grave problem. But, who knows?

Yeah tell me about it. This is a terrible tournament and it's happening every year because players don't take it seriously. It's too early in the season and it's the week before Oz.

Oh my goodness... I dodged a bullet there.

I have one free ticket to a night match Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. My friends all went today, but I was feeling tired, so I gave it a skip, deciding for maybe Thursday. Good choice it seems.

Bad luck for Kim though. Hope she's sweet come AO.

That's bad. I hope she's well by the Aussie. I think it's more from preventing the worse to happen, so it's a good decision. Get well, Kim!

This won't encourage Kim at all to continue playing after 2007:sad: She's completely fed up of injuries, and this one sounds very serious:sad:

Nemesis

:awww: Kim. What a start of the year ... Maybe Hongkong wasn't a good idea, but yeah. Nobody can predict what will happen. Normally her body can handle things like that.

Also for Nadia & Daniela :awww:

She's a bitch! :o I went there tonight and she suddenly announced in late minute! :mad: Why can't she tell today in morning or afternoon instead of waiting until late minute :sad:

At least we have wet weather policy which means we can exchange tickets for next year on the same night! :yeah:

I hope that injury don't affect her career! :scared:
