How many stories like this there will be in the history of tennis that we will never know due to the reserved character of its protagonists. Without going any further, last year everyone was amazed at the superiority of Ashleigh Barty when it comes to conquering Wimbledon, the same one that this morning revealed that he disputed the entire lathe with a 10cm break in the adductor. It’s hard to believe, but that’s how the best are, capable of getting their best performance even in the most demanding moments.
Had an adductor tear once. You’re pretty restricted and lose a lot of mobility and flexibility. Astonishing Barty competed and somehow won Wimbledon with such a significant injury (10cm tear). No wonder her mother, a radiographer, asked “how did you play?”
