Health problems: tennis player Lys gives up at US Open – body strikes

Sad about their renewed health problems and the second-round task at the US Open tennis hope Eva Lys fought with their emotions. The 23 -year -old Hamburg native had to make a heavy heart at 4: 6, 0: 3 (0:30) against the Czech Linda Noskova that it cannot go on. The symptoms about their rheumatic autoimmune disease were too great on this day at the Grand Slam spectacle in New York.

“If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. I have had a few problems again in the past few days. Unfortunately, it got worse during the match,” said Lys, who had caused a sensation at the Australian Open with their round of 16.

Already in the morning she felt that it would “probably very, very difficult”. “It’s just a situation that I definitely have to cope with. It is of course very disappointing,” said Lys. The disease has been affecting them for several years. In the past, too, she was slowed down from time to time.

Lys calls the physiotherapist and hopes in vain for relief

Because of the Grand Slam chance, Lys absolutely wanted to try the Czech Noskova, which was placed in position 21. She started with the first game win, but then had to let her opponent pull away quickly.

At 2: 5 from her point of view, German number three had the physiotherapist fetched. She pointed to her back, first lay down on a towel for treatment and then went off the pitch by the physiotherapist.

“I hoped that I might get a little relief, but that didn’t happen,” she said. This time the problems are not comparable to their pain at the tournament in Cleveland. Last week, the Hamburg woman had already withdrawn from the US Open at a preparation tournament for back complaints before the quarter -finals.

Double? Lys does not comment on a possible start

After a few minutes of treatment, Lys came back for her second-round appearance in New York against Noskova. She shortened to 4: 5, but then lost the first sentence. Then the world ranking 59 won. No more game until she signaled that the end was. Shaking his head, Lys stepped into a referee, hugged her opponent and hurried off the pitch.

It is irrelevant that Lys had also ended in Wimbledon for Lys in the second round against Noskova. She did not want to comment on whether she could still compete in doubles at the US Open.
