German Angelique Kerber commented on the decision to withdraw from the tournament in Madrid due to injury.
“I think the injury is not very serious, but I could not show my best game. It hurts me to walk, so I decided not to risk and save strength for the remaining soil tournaments. Besides, the pain is clearly not what you need before the match, in which will have to run a lot. I was really waiting for the ground season, but so far things are not going the best way: first I got sick, and now I injured my ankle.
However, I’m moving forward. There is still a tournament in Rome, and now I will go home to recover and return to the court. I hope I will be able to play there, because I have a few more days, “the WTA press service quoted Kerber as saying.
