"More precisely, my injury is the degenerative changes of the lumbar discs of the spine and irritation of the adductors of the left thigh due to previous trauma. I am treating it with special exercises and physiotherapy, I am helped by [physiotherapists] Toms Zvonkovs and Lauri Ott. It's something that I probably won't be completely free of anymore. But it can (hopefully) be controlled well enough so that I can continue to play without pain," Kontaveit said in an email interview to Kontaveit announced an injury break in February After losing to Shelby Rogers in the Abu Dhabi round-of-16 in early February, Kontaveit announced her withdrawal from Doha and Dubai. In her message, Kontaveit confirmed that it was the same back injury that plagued her in 2022. "Hii. Just wanna keep you guys posted. It has been a tough beginning for 2023. I have been feeling my back in most matches that I have played since October last year. I have been trying to help myself and get treatment and work out as much as possible but for some reason this thing has been coming back every time I play competitively. So I’ve decided to take a few weeks, which unfortunately means I have to skip tournaments in Doha and Dubai. I am working with my team to help myself as much as I can and I really hope to be ready for IW and Miami in March. Tha...

NEW YORK, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Anett Kontaveit said she expected the sold-out crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium to throw their full support behind Serena Williams during her win on Wednesday, but the environment was "hard" and unlike anything she had faced before. Williams, who is considered by many to be the greatest of all time, is poised to drop the curtain on her career after the tournament and her vocal fanbase did everything in their power to will the 23-time Grand Slam champion into the third round. "You can expect something, I saw it from the previous match," Kontaveit told reporters after her 7-6(4) 2-6 6-2 loss. "But when you're on the court, I mean, it was hard... it was something I never experienced before." The world number two said she held no grudge against the New York crowd. "I don't think it's a personal attack against me or anything," she said. "I mean, it's fair." Before each of her two star-studded matches, fans have been treated to a montage of Williams' career highlights while her opponent has been forced to stand on the court and wait for play to start. The 26-year-old Estonian, who grew up watching Williams repeatedly triumph on the sport's biggest stages, said she understood the pageantry. "It was her moment," she said. "I was trying to do my own thing. Of course, this is totally about her. I was very aware of that." But while she was surprised by the intensity of the crowd of nearly 30,000, there was nothing unfamiliar about seeing Williams raise her le...

Kontaveit ütles, et tennisistid arutavad omavahel maailmas toimunut. "See on absoluutselt loomulik. See ei ole ainult poliitiline olukord, vaid sõda. Sõda, mis on tekitanud mängijate vahelistes suhetes pingeid. On naiivne arvata, et me teeme siin vaid sporti ja sel ei ole poliitikaga mingit pistmist," vahendas eestlanna sõnu Poola väljaanne Kontaveit ütles, et valgevenelanna Arina Sabalenka võib küll arvata, et sport ja poliitika ei ole ühendatud, kuid tegelikkuses nii ei ole. "Võib-olla [Sabalenka] tõesti arvab nii. Aga sel pole mingit pistmist reaalsusega ja sellega, kuidas elu väljaspool treeninguid välja näeb," ütles eelmisel aastal maailma edetabelis teisele reale tõusnud eestlanna. Kontaveit ütles, et mõistab Ukraina tennisiste, kes sooviksid näha Venemaa ja Valgevene võistlejate eemaldamist, kuid see otsus ei ole mängijate teha. "Mängijatena ei ole meil selle üle mingit kontrolli. See ei muuda midagi, kas ma nõustun või ei. Aga saan öelda, et mõistan täielikult, miks ukrainlastel selline ootus on," ütles eestlanna. "Sellistes tingimustes on väga keeruline võistelda. Loomulikult on Ukraina mängijatel kõige raskem, aga teistel pole ka kerge. Me muretseme oma perekondade pärast, endi pärast, tuleviku pärast," lisas Kontaveit. Arina Sabalenka: ma ei toeta sõda Valgevenelanna Arina Sabalenka (WTA 2.) loositi Prantsusmaa lahtiste slämmiturniiril avaringis kokku ukrainlanna Marta Kostjukiga. Sabalenka ütles enne nende kohtumist, et "Ma ei taha oma energiat sellise asja pea...
