Magdalena Fręch after the ultrasound examination. We have new information

Magdalena Fręch recently dropped out of the event in Strasbourg, fighting not only with Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova, but also with knee pain. We learned the latest information about the health of the Polish tennis player just before the Roland Garros Grand Slam.

On Wednesday, Polish fans froze when Magdalena Fręch asked for a medical break during the 1/8-final match of the WTA 500 event in Strasbourg. The Pole competed with Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova. She won the first set unexpectedly 7:5, looking great.

What about Magdalena Fręch’s health?

At the beginning of the second game, Fręch had a knee problem during one of the rallies. The tennis player asked for a medical break, but the symptoms could not be quickly eliminated. As a result, playing in pain, the Pole lost the next two sets 1:6, 0:6 and was eliminated from the tournament.

As Sport.pl, we contacted Andrzej Kobierski, Magdalena Fręch’s coach, on Wednesday. He then admitted that the tennis player and her staff were waiting for the ultrasound results. According to our information, the test took place on Thursday at Roland Garros. – It should be fine – Kobierski told us. Two doctors examined the athlete’s knee.

Roland Garros starts on Sunday. According to the current schedule of games in Paris, Fręch will play his first match on Monday or Tuesday. Her rival will be Russian Daria Kasatkina. The draw certainly could have been happier for the Pole.

Today, Magdalena Fręch is 54th in the WTA ranking, she will not be seeded and she had to count on a smile of fate. Kasatkina is the 11th racket in the world, two years ago in the French capital she reached the semi-finals. It has been at the forefront for years.

The beginning of the season was very successful for our tennis player. In January, she reached the fourth round of the Australian Open, where she lost to third-ranked Coco Gauff. This is the best result in Fręch’s career, she also advanced to the WTA TOP 50 for the first time.

Unlucky draws for Fręch and Linette

Spring was worse for the athlete, hence the quick defeats, among others. in Indian Wells and Miami. In Strasbourg, she recently showed her better side, passing the qualifying round and then defeating Sloane Stephens, the 2017 US Open champion, in the first round . The beginning of the match with Vondrousova gave real hopes for another surprise from Magdalena Fręch, but that was when health problems appeared.

Magda Linette (50th WTA), also unseeded in Paris, also experienced an unlucky draw at Roland Garros . In the opening match she will face Lyudmila Samsonova (19th). The Pole was eliminated on Thursday in the quarterfinals of the tournament in Strasbourg after a clash with Madison Keys. In the same event, Samsonowa is already at the semi-final stage, and in the next duel she will compete with the conqueror Linette.

Iga Świątek was luckier in drawing the Grand Slam competition in Paris. Due to the position in the ranking and seeding (number one), it was also predictable. The Pole will play in the first round against one of the qualifying tennis players. In the second match, she may face Naomi Osaka (134th), if the Japanese defeats the Italian Lucia Bronzetti (48th).
