Katie's struggled with similar type injuries for a few years, it must be so frustrating when they re-appear yet again. Still, hopefully this one won't linger as long as previous ones have. She wasn't really able to compete to her normal level today. Good luck to Krueger, that serve of hers is a weapon and a half, though by the third set it had gone a bit awry too.
Real shame, but I'm amazed she got as close as she did. She was really sluggish from midway through the second set onwards. Hopefully only a minor setback.

Damn, what is it with our top ranked Women. As well as Katie S, there's Emma with multiple issues, Katie B with general health problems and Jodies ankles.

And not only the leading women either - Draper and Edmund on the men's side too.
