She's the new Clijsters for Ana

azdaja · Feb 18th, 2013, 04:11 PM

why does ana gets so tense in big moments. she was doing everything right, she was in cruise control and then she chokes against who is from today her pigeon

i hope the shoulder problem is not too serious.

She had problem to finish the match because of shoulder problem, it was obvious during her serve. I hope she gets well by wednesday.

It's actually never easy to get a new punchy, so this is a fine achievement. If she's healthy, she can do well in Dubai. We'll see.

Thank GOD she avoided the choke.. but Ana is having a lot of trouble serving for sets and matches this year.. in almost all she had a moment she got broken while serving for a set.

Shoulder was hurting..

At least she got a new punchbag

and it's always a positive that she at least won despite the choke.

Hope her shoulder gets better. Maybe it just felt a bit sore.

Ana needs a break to "repair" herself and get fit, she can't play with injured shoulder, it explains what happened in the second set. Last time she played with an injury she ate a double bagel

I'm scared

if she takes a break to fix the shoulder,she could be out for a year!The only way to fix it is surgery,i'm afraid she'll have to learn to live with the sore shoulder.Her ball toss doesnt make things easier for her.

Agreed. And she won't fix the toss. The more she's working on her serve, the worse that toss is getting. She worked on her serve the most during the off season, her toss only got worse and now she's injured.

You're both right - Vasa and currie84...She can't play with shoulder injury and if she takes a break to heal that injury - she might be out for a year.

The problem is - shoulder injury is her "Achilles heel"...First tournament she was forced to withdraw due to a shoulder injury was Cremlin Cup in Moscow in 2005...8 years ago...Then she withdrew from Zurich in 2006 due to a same injury...She said that shoulder injury was one of the reasons why she lost to Azarenka in RG'09...Ana withdrew from Dubai in '10(shoulder injury)...She had same problems in april'10...Wimbledon'10...She felt shoulder pain in Bali '10 and '11...And now Pattaya, FC and Dubai '13...

Maybe someone who plays tennis here can tell us more about this injury ...I've read some articles and if it's rotator cuff again, then usually doctors are recomending 3 months long break (if player wants to skip surgery)...ice + physical therapy + anti-infllammatory pills + long break....In best case her shoulder may recover over 4-6 weeks once the injury calms down and muscle starts to function again...She can forget about weightlifting untill injury isn't healed completely...

She said she wont repeat mistakes from the past,that she wont play injured and yet she's been doing that all the time...Problem with her shoulder constantly re-occur, every year she has to withdraw from at least one tournament...the key to healing is rest...and she keep on playing injured...it's a vicious circle.

Sob, so from all accounts she played really badly + has an injured shoulder?

Didn't watch because I have an exam on Wednesday and I'm busy having panic attacks over that instead of Ana

Don't embarrass yourself against Kvitty gurl.

She had a 4-0 lead in the second set and nearly blew it. Can't comment on the rest of the match because that is all I saw (4-0 on). I am a jinx.

Sharapova's surgery was to repair a rotator cuff tear. It was quite fast after the surgery, but it was a B plan after weeks of only treatment. She described that in her doodles.

Stop watching her matches for few months, we'll see if that works. We're desperate, so you could try.
