I don't know the severity of the injury yet, because I have yet to see the doctor, so I can't tell you clearly what is going on with my wrist".
"The pain was really affecting my serve and first ball after the serve. My feeling was lacking. I thought it would go away as time went on, but it è not so. In the second set, I decided to stop becauseè I was not feeling well" continued the Moscow native.
"It's very frustrating, very sad. Probably è my favorite tournament, but I am a human being and I decided to stop becauseè I couldnè t completely control my body. I have to accept the result, find out what is going on right now, try to recover and figure out how to prevent it in the future" added the 1998-class player.
"I have never had such a problem in the past. I have had different types of injuries, but this è something new, so it will beè crucial to understand whatè happened and from whatè this problem" originated,” Anna Kalinskaya concluded.
