Oh no not again. Just when she was having a cracking week.
Wish Katie could get a break but so pleased to see her at a new career high.

The medical team looking after the players on court in Chennai deserve a lot of credit, they were there instantly when Swan was taken ill in the QF, and again very quickly to assess her at the change of ends in the semi this evening. They are obviously monitoring the players during play, looking for signs of distress due to the heat/humidity.

Katie's final was the quarter-final in this tournament, and by playing so well she has made tremendous progress. The little cameo this evening again showed how she can play very effective attacking tennis. It's been great to see her push opponents back out wide, and then meet their returns with confident volleying at the net, to finish the points early. Reducing the match duration, will help her to stay clear of injury.

Looking at all the taping; probably wise to retire and manage her body sensibly the way she has in recent times. A phenomenal week for her and a richly deserved career high - Im sure were all pleased to see her move towards the top 100, shes always been a very capable and complete player when fit.

Her lengthy injury troubles have meant most people have forgotten how promising she was as a junior and how high expectations were for her at one stage. The potential is clearly still there when she has the opportunity to show it.

If she's recovered enough to play she's got a good opening draw in Seoul against Paquet.
