Aryna Sabalenka exits Wimbledon 2024 with shoulder injury
Aryna Sabalenka announced her withdrawal from the 2024 Wimbledon Championships on Monday due to a shoulder injury. In a pre-tournament press conference, Sabalenka hinted at her fitness issues and talked about the shoulder condition that previously led to her retiring mid-match in the Ecotrans Ladies Open quarterfinals in Berlin.
Ahead of her first-round match against Emina Bektas, heartbroken Sabalenka confirmed on social media that she was pulling out, stating that her team advised against playing to avoid long-term damage.
"Heartbroken to have to tell you all that I won't be able to play The Championships this year. I tried everything to get myself ready but unfortunately my shoulder is not cooperating," Aryna Sabalenka said.
"I pushed myself to the limit in practice today to try my best, but my team explained that playing would only make things much worse. This tournament means so much to me and I promise I'll be back stronger than ever next year," she added.
Stefanos Tsitsipas responds to former fitness coach's criticism of his work ethic
Stefanos Tsitsipas responded to his ex-fitness coach Christos Fiotakis’ criticism of his work ethic. The Greek tennis star said they ended their collaboration after the French Open quarterfinals, where he lost to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz.
"Anyway, our last written agreement expired after Roland Garros and we would see if we could continue. We had made a contract from the beginning of January until the end of Roland Garros," Stefanos Tsitsipas said in an interview with SDNA.
Fiotakis had said he was unhappy with Tsitsipas’ priorities and work ethic, and that he didn’t think the World No. 11 was aiming for Grand Slam titles or the top ranking.
Tsitsipas dismissed Fiotakis’ accusations as "strange", saying that he was fully committed to his tennis career.
"It was his decision to come out and say what he said. I work hard every day and when I hear someone say that I'm not putting in the work and that I'm not dedicated and focused on what I'm doing, it seems a little strange to me. All I do all day is live and breathe tennis," he said.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is currently in London for the Wimbledon Championships, where he is seeded 11th and will face Taro Daniel in his first-round match on July 2.
The Greek tennis star also partnered with brother Petros Tsitsipas for doubles, where they will face 11th-seeded duo Andres Molteni and Maximo Gonzalez on July 3.
