Iga Swiatek shares update after sustaining concerning injury ahead of French Open

Iga Swiatek is in the process of determining the severity of her thigh injury. On Wednesday night, Swiatek suffered a thigh injury during her Rome quarterfinal match against Elena Rybakina. After suffering a right thigh injury in the second-set tie-break, Swiatek left the court for an off-court medical time-out before returning with a strapped thigh.

When Swiatek returned to the court, she played four more games before retiring injured against Rybakina. With the French Open just around the corner, suffering an injury was the last thing Swiatek wanted to happen. “Hi Guys.

I’m sure you’re thinking about what happened last night. We’re checking it. During the second set I got a thigh injury. The diagnostic is in progress. More info in the following days. Will keep you updated,” Swiatek tweeted on Thursday morning.
