Vi ricordate il cerotto che indossava Ana a Wimbledon? Ecco cos'aveva dichiarato al riguardo sulle domande in conferenza stampa dopo la vittoria contro la Vaidisova:
Q. What were you wearing on your knee?
ANA IVANOVIC: It was just tape for tracking my knee, because last week when I played on Saturday it was quite slippery out there. Just for tracking the knee, just as prevention.
Q. Just normal strapping?
ANA IVANOVIC: Just for tracking the knee. It's not the full bandage, just to move a little bit.
Q. Was there an injury of some sort?
ANA IVANOVIC: No. It's okay. It's just prevention. It also gives a little bit support, so it's good.
Purtroppo non era solo per prevenzione, infatti Ana, subito dopo Wimbledon è venuta in Italia per farsi visitare, ha fatto la risonanza magnetica, e dopo questi esami le è stato consigliato di fermarsi per 2 settimane, è stata quindi costretta a rinunciare alla Fed Cup, alla quale teneva molto non soltato perchè è lo spareggio per la B, ma anche perchè sarebbe stata la prima volta con Jelena. Inoltre è stata costretta al ritiro anche da San Diego, tier I californiano molto importante, dovrebbe rientrare nel tier I del canada, quest'anno si svolgerà a Toronto, dove dovrà difendere il titolo.
Dal suo sito ufficiale:
I have some bad news: unfortunately my knee is injured. If you saw me playing at Wimbledon maybe you noticed I was wearing some funny looking medical plasters on my knee!
I didn't want to talk too much about it at the time, because I never like to focus on injuries, but it was hurting a lot during the tournament. After Wimbledon I flew to Italy to see a specialist and to have an MRI scan.
The result I received on Tuesday wasn't good. I waited a couple of days, hoping for a miracle, but today the doctor confirmed that my knee definitely isn't ready for tennis.
Unfortunately he has ordered me to rest it completely for two weeks. I will have more treatment over the next few days, then rest for another week before I can get back on the court again.
This means that I can't play in the Fed Cup at the weekend. I'm very disappointed about this. I was so looking forward to playing, especially because it is such an important tie. I wish the girls the very best.
I will also have to withdraw from San Diego, which is also a pity because it's a great tournament.
f my rehabilitation goes according to plan, I will be able to play my next tournament in the second week of August. I'm very confident I will still be able to defend my title in Toronto.
Obviously coping with injuries is one of the most difficult challenges for a sportsperson and it gets you down sometimes. But I am lucky that I have a great team around me and they do everything they can to help me. The Serbian tennis federation is also very supportive; the president Bobo Zivojinovic sent me a nice message and I am grateful for that.
During this time away from the court I will at least be able to reflect on these amazing two months. I'm proud of what I achieved and I feel extra motivation to train hard so that I continue to improve.
