Karolina Pliskova, sensitive loss for the Australian Open

The women’s team of the Australian Open will have a very sensitive loss for its 2022 edition after the tournament organization announced at dawn this Thursday the absence of the tennis player Karolina Pliskova, the number four in the WTA ranking.

In statements released by the tournament, Pliskova claims that her withdrawal from the Australian Open is due to an injury to her right hand that occurred while training. “Unfortunately I hurt my right hand during training yesterday and I will not be able to play in Adelaide, Sydney and the Australian Open. It saddens me that I can’t start my season in Australia and I will miss my fans there so much. “

The tennis player herself uploaded a photo to her Twitter account in which she appears with her right hand bandaged and with the following message. “Some days are worse than others. Unfortunately I will be away for a while and will not compete in my favorite Australian tournaments. But time and faith can cure everything, “said Pliskova, who will have to wait until 2023 to compete again in Australia.
