I watched Kvitova arrive at and leave the grounds of the US Open yesterday and her body language indicated she wasn’t exaggerating.
She had a scowl on her face as she entered, probably due to pain or the thought of having to play a match in her condition.
As she departed, she had some difficulty walking and carrying her bag. Czech-mate and travel companion Radek Stepanek was a fine gentleman. He noticed that she was having trouble and promptly grabbed her bag and held her so she didn’t fall over. Afterward, he saw to it that she got in the SUV safely to escape the heat and return to a Manhattan hotel room.
yeah, i agree...just withdraw from the match! i just don't understand petra's insistence on playing a match when she's not 100%...she does this time and time again...in the end, it's just gonna be mentally draining for her and affect her overall confidenceDon't you find it all, simultaneously amazing, amusing, disturbing and quite ironic that someone [allegedly] so COMMITTED to finishing a match while ill (TO GET HUMILIATED BY A SCRUB), is so SEEMINGLY UNCOMMITTED TO IMPROVING THEIR OWN TENNIS GAME & CAREER!?
If you're that sick, don't play. It's that simple!
No one wants to hear the flood of excuses anymore.
