The Unfortunate Ankle
Alas, it seems that the problems with her right ankle are more serious than we all thought. Tati had to undergo an MRI yesterday that revealed some unspecified lingering problems, dating back to her injury she inflicted at Zurich last year. At first she thought that the problems were gone and that the pain she felt at Charleston in her QF match against Safina was caused just by the change of surface; apparently, it is more serious than that. Unfortunately, we still don't know the extent of the injury, however, she said that she would not play this week anyway and that she hoped she would get better after the rest. The good news is that she does not question her attendance at Berlin, Rome and Roland Garros. In fact, she has two weeks to pull herself together, so let us hope she returns to the Tour full-strength!
