The Niemeier drama: Out of tournament after falling on right wrist

What are the consequences of June 22 in the 2023 season for Jule Niemeier?

The player from Dortmund had impressed at the bett1open presented by ecotrans Group with her courageous play and, above all, her huge fighter's heart. But her so impressive Berlin performance ended with a shock on Thursday afternoon in the round of 16. At 5:5 in the second set, she had already fought off a match point against Marketa Vondrousova, the right-hander stumbled and fell on her right wrist. It was immediately clear that this could be something serious. After a break for treatment, she bravely played out the tenth game of the set. But after her first service attempt in the following game, she had to break off. Worse than the 3:6, 5:6 defeat are the probing questions: What are the consequences of the injury? Is her start at Wimbledon in jeopardy? Niemeier fought back tears, the spectators in the Steffi Graf Stadium clapped and gave the chorus of encouragement. All the best, Jule!
