At $100K ITF Prague Womens Tournament, Czech Republic

[R1] (6) Sania Mirza (IND,74) l (Q) Aleksandra Krunic (SRB,273) 46 Retd

Sania played match with back injury and decided to retired from the match due to back injury after end of the first set.

Sania need to avoid these stupid mistake of taking chances when she is not 100% fit to play ... She should take rest and return to court after fully fit ... Hopefully this is minor injury.


Sania's tweet
Tried to play today,back was no good; had to retire the match..its gotta be one of the worse feelings ever to pull out mid-match. Hope to feel better in the next couple of days..that's what the physio thinks I need..let's see.
