Kirsten Flipkens announced today that she would be withdrawing from Roland Garros due to the ankle injury that she sustained after tripping over an advertising board during her second-round match against Sofia Kenin in Abu Dhabi. The Belgian, who rolled her ankle and retired from the contest leading 6-4, 4-5, 0-30, revealed that she suffered a partial (grade 2) tear on her ATFL ligament, while also experiencing oedema and other strains.
On twitter she announced, ” Unfortunately I have to announce my withdrawal from Roland Garros due to my ankle injury. I want to be able to be 100% and to give myself 100% when I’m stepping on court. Of course it hurts to withdrawal from a grand slam. The 1st slam I will be missing in many years”.
Editors Note • Sorry For “FLIP” not to be able to play. The court signage of a box does not belong on the courts. The fall she took looked like a career-ender… It was a terrible way to see a finely tuned athlete go down. The signage was behind her.
