Josh 7,762 Posted June 20, 2023 #164 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) Anett Kontaveit announces her retirement, aged 27, due to her chronic back injury. Wimbledon will be her final tournament as a professional tennis player Edited June 20, 2023 by Josh Monzanator, dullard and thepharoah 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,825 Posted June 20, 2023 #165 Share Posted June 20, 2023 That's a major shock as I didn't expect her back problems to be as serious. She will always have that insane 2021 season (mostly the second half of it) culminated by the YEC final. Josh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,825 Posted June 22, 2023 #166 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Well, the Den Bosch final will be repeated in Berlin QF.

Monzanator 3,825 Posted June 25, 2023 #167 Share Posted June 25, 2023 This week's finals: Berlin 500 Petra Kvitova def. Donna Vekic 6-2 7-6(6) Birmingham 250 Jelena Ostapenko def. Barbora Krejcikova 7-6(8) 6-4 Fun fact: Kvitova and Ostapenko will meet in R1 in Eastbourne most likely on Tuesday. They actually played the 2022 final there.

Makedonas 1,908 Posted June 25, 2023 #168 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I really think the ATP and WTA need to work together to plan out finals scheduling. It is ridiculous that every week we have multiple finals from different tournaments going on at the same time. It would be better for all if they were somewhat spaced out...
