Painful farewell of one of the heroes of Wimbledon 2024. On the record remains his victory in defeating the champion, the Czech Marketa Vondrousovawhich was his first Grand Slam victory, in his third tournament in this category, second on London grass.
Although he left sick, especially physically. The Galician dream Jessica Bouzas21 years old and world No. 83, broke in the third round, against another Grand Slam champion, Czech Barbora Krejcikova, 28 years old and No. 32, who dominated Roland Garros 2017 and is one of the best doubles players in history.
The Spaniard lost 6-0, 4-3 and retired at 1h.15′. He surprised the initial set, after a two-hour rain delay. At 17′, passed. A weak version of the tennis player from Vilagarcía de Arousa.
A break due to more rain helped him calm down and rethink the game with his coach, Roberto Ortega. It came out better in the second, competitive set, but everything went wrong in the sixth game, at 3-3. The Galician felt pain in his lower back and alerted the seat manager that he would need help at the end of a game in which he had suffered a break.
Physio massages on the back did not heal the injury. He still holds three points Bouzaswho could barely walk and decided the only smart thing: to give up and see exactly what was happening to his lower back.
Cold, windy and wet day. It does not help the accumulation of efforts for a Bouza to leave London painful but convinced that it continues on the top line that it has been pointing to for months.
