Maja Chwalinska has explained why she did not retire after falling on Court 12 and rolling her ankle on match point.<\/p>\n
The recent French Open runner-up faced qualifier Mananchaya Sawangkaew and led 6-2 5-2, holding a match point on the Thai ace\u2019s serve.<\/p>\n
But she slipped on the grass at that exact moment, and Sawangkaew was able to hold serve.<\/p>\n
Chwalinska received treatment at the next changeover but dropped 11 of the last 13 games to lose 2-6 7-5 6-2.<\/p>\n
She later said: \u201cI fell, and I felt my ankle. I wanted to continue, but I felt some \u2013 I mean, I didn’t feel comfortable moving, so I wanted to tape it, but, you know, I would lose this point anyway, like it doesn’t matter if I fell or not. It definitely didn’t help me later on, but it is what it is.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, it’s Wimbledon. I don’t want to, you know, retire in Wimbledon.<\/p>\n
\u201cI knew that later on I got cramps everywhere, so I knew that it’s not, like, anything, like, I don’t take a huge risk on my health, it’s gonna be okay. But, yeah, I think I would have many regrets if I would retire, so I just wanted to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maja Chwalinska has explained why she did not retire after falling on Court 12 and rolling her ankle…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":664941,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[7307,12376,7510,11818,6962,59,810,811,8833,6564,6766,101,872,56,54,55,1232,116,222792,222791,65542],"class_list":["post-664940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-aryna-sabalenka","tag-cameron-norrie","tag-coco-gauff","tag-daniil-medvedev","tag-emma-raducanu","tag-gb","tag-iga-swiatek","tag-jannik-sinner","tag-jessica-pegula","tag-naomi-osaka","tag-novak-djokovic","tag-sports","tag-tennis-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-updates","tag-wimbledon","tag-wimbledon-results","tag-wimbledon-scores","tag-withdrawal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=664940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664940\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/664941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=664940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=664940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=664940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
