“I have a problem walking, I feel like I’m limping. You don’t want to play with an injured Achilles tendon because it can get worse,” the American described her problems.
Serena Williams won her last grand slam title at the 2017 Australian Open as a pregnant woman. Since then, she has been in the finals four times (twice at Wimbledon and the US Open), and has never won the title.
In the first round of the French Open, the stellar American dealt with compatriot Kristie Ahn (7: 6, 6: 2). She met Pirokovova, who is also returning to the courts after a maternity break, in the quarterfinals of the US Open, where she defeated her in sets of sets 4: 6, 6: 3, 6: 2.
However, he does not live up to his dream of winning the 24th triumph in the Big Four tournaments. “I love tennis. I’m competitive. It’s my job and I’m still doing it pretty well. I’m getting closer to my goals, I’m almost there, so I’m still going on,” Williams said.
The 33-year-old native of Plovdiv, Pironkovovová, will challenge the winner of the Czech duel between Barbora Strýcová and Barbora Krejčíková in the fight for the round of 16.
