At 42 years old, Venus Williams had received the invitation for the Australian Open. Unfortunately, the tournament in Auckland was fatal to the American legend, who reaped an injury and, dead in the soul, gave up playing the Australian Grand Slam. On her Youtube channel, Venus went into more detail about her injury and especially about her adventures in Auckland. The American explained that she did not get her luggage at the airport and therefore lost her rackets. After getting her equipment back a few days later, the legend was able to play a match and win it before finally injuring herself against Lin Zhu. An injury to the ischio that forced her to give up Australia. His explanations.
“I had an MRI and a few days later, there was no surprise: I had a hamstring injury, which made me miss the Australian Open, where I had received an invitation. It’s hard to have an injury, I was out of action for a long time and now I’m dealing with another injury. I’m still in constant communication with the doctors about what the next steps are, how long it will take me to come back. Right now, I’m in a process where I have to rest for a while before I start playing sports again. Before I started running, I had to get back to walking, so I’m hoping to get back to running very soon.”
“The beginning of the year had been good, I had managed to win a game, I was super happy with my level until this happened. I know things don’t always go well, so my next step is to get comfortable with my body again. I’ve been through a lot of injuries and I know how long it takes to get that confidence back. I hope to be able to play tennis again very soon, I don’t know exactly when, but I hope it will be as soon as possible.”
