Lthe best tennis player on the planet, Ashleigh Barty, took to the court today to play her second round match at Roland Garros against the Polish Magda Linette, but she did not finish it.
The Australian, who wears from the Mutua Madrid Open, a cumbersome bandage at the thigh of her left leg, already warned in the previous one that she was at the limit.
Finally, and with a score of 6-1 for Linette and 2-2 in the continuation, your body has said enough. The champion of the 2019 edition, who was absent last season from the tournament due to the pandemic, leaves behind a sequence of eight consecutive victories in the ‘Grand Slam’ of the land.
Despite your untimely goodbye, her leadership at the head of the women’s circuit is not in danger due to the resignation of the second racket of the WTA, Naomi Osaka, to continue in competition citing anxiety problems. Barty hopes to be recovered for Wimbledon, the great one of the grass that appears in the calendar as of June 28. Linette, meanwhile, will face Ons Jabeur for a place in the round of 16.
