Such a sad sight at the end. Poor Eleanor, must be so frustrating. She can't catch a break.

Played so well, is clearly extremely talented still.

 Londontennistube reports it as a knee.

And it looks more like a knee - she puts her hand to it a couple of times, at the far end of the court, and flexes it, and walks stiffly, in the way you do with a knee.

Such a shame, she was outplaying Freya beautifully...... cry

 Sorry, you're right. I was looking at the wrong list re, Lisa

I stand corrected.

Hope she recovers as quickly as Ellie appears to have.
