Sam Stosur withdraws with calf injury from BNP Paribas Open
7th seed Sam Stosur has withdrawn from her quarterfinal match versus Angelique Kerber due to a right calf injury.
Samantha Stosur on her
withdrawal:
“I hurt my right calf muscle in
the last game of my match against Mona Barthel when I was serving for the match,
so I don’t know if you can get any more unlucky than that. I think we only
played another four points in that match. I felt something go in my calf and it
was hurting a fair bit. Yesterday I took the day off practice and only did
treatment, probably iced it about 10 times. This morning I thought I would give
it a shot, and tried to go out and warm up, and after about five minutes I knew
that there was no chance I could play unfortunately.”
“It’s really disappointing. I had a bit of a rough start to the year and I feel like now my tennis has really picked up, and I’ve been playing really quite well these last few days. I love the conditions here at the BNP Paribas Open and I love playing in front of this crowd, so to have to pull out without even being able to get on court is probably as bad as it gets. I think this is only the second time I’ve ever pulled out of a match in my career, and unfortunately there isn’t anything I can do about it.”
“Today I’ll talk to the physios and the doctors and work out a good plan for how many days off I need to take off and go from there. It’s all a bit up in the air at the moment because I’ve never been through this type of injury before, so it’s a matter of wait and see, talking to the people who know, and reassessing each day.”
