Bartoli Hurt And Exhausted
Bartoli Hurt And Exhausted
Two Wimbledon champions went out the Rogers Cup on Thursday, when Andy Murray went down to Ernests Gulbis in Montreal and Marion Bartoli retired in the second set against Magdalena Rybarikova with what appeared to be an abdominal injury.
But Bartoli isn’t sure how extensive the injury is. She was planning on getting a scan on Thursday night, but was told that her body might have broken down due to the stress of the past month and a half.
“From what the doctor first said, and the physio, it’s more like an overload maybe, kind of excess of tiredness and exhaustion on my body they feels,” she said. “But the pain is so large, and we can’t really say right now exactly there is a tear at some point or if it’s just like a huge tightness. Everything that happened for me since a month, it’s not without any tiredness, and obviously it took me so much energy to win my first Grand Slam that at some point I will have a kind of low, and it’s normal. I’m human. At the end of the day I can’t be winning after winning after winning without feeling at some point a kind of exhaustion.
The Frenchwoman said that it’s possible that it’s just a muscle cramp. She has only played two matches since Wimbledon and consider herself questionable for Cincinnati.
“The pain is so large and it’s hard to say if it’s really just a muscle cramp or there is a tear at some point,” she said. “But I still have some weeks to prepare for the US Open. Obviously it’s my main goal and it still remains, so I will just make sure I’m ready.
