Health problems: tennis player Lys gives up at US Open

Tennis player Eva Lys gave up at the US Open in the second round for physical problems. After a treatment break in the first set, the 23 -year -old Hamburg native first played against the Czech Linda Noskova set, but then decided not to continue playing at 4: 6, 0: 3 (0:30). This ends the Grand Slam tournament in New York for the Australian Open Entel finalist.

Lys calls the physiotherapist

In their point of view, German number three had the physiotherapist got when they are 2: 5. She pointed to her back, first lay down on a towel for treatment and then went off the pitch by the physiotherapist.

In Cleveland last week, Lys had withdrawn before the quarter -finals for back problems. Her rheumatic autoimmune disease caused her problems, as she reported in New York.

“After the last tournament, this is certainly a topic that I carry with me. The hope is of course always there that the back will not get worse during the match,” Lys said after her opening victory in Flushing Meadows. “I feel my back, but it’s something I can play with.”

Second Grand Slam-Aus one after the other against the Czech

Lys came back for her second-round appearance after a few minutes of treatment. She shortened to 4: 5, but then lost the first set. Then the world ranking 59 won. No more game until she signaled that it would no longer go on. She shook her head, step to the referee, hugged her opponent and then hurried off the square.

It is irrelevant that Lys had also ended in Wimbledon for Lys in the second round against Noskova.
