Due to a ruptured tendon, Sania withdrew from the US Open on Tuesday. She also said that the injury might cause her retirement plans to shift.
The 35-year-old claimed she got the injury while participating at the Canadian Open this month. In January, the athlete declared she would retire at the end of the 2022 season.
Mirza participated in last week’s Cincinnati Open in addition to competing in the women’s doubles event in Toronto, where she and partner Madison Keys advanced to the semifinals.
She claimed that she was initially unaware of the seriousness of the damage and only learned that she had damaged “a tiny bit of” her tendon after undergoing diagnostic scans.
Sania Posted on her Social Media that “A quick update. I just have some not-so-great news. I hurt my forearm/elbow while playing in Canada 2 weeks ago and obviously didn’t realise how bad it was until I got my scans yesterday and unfortunately I have in fact torn a little bit of my tendon. I will be out for a week and have pulled out of US Open,”
