Leylah Fernandez update: Grade 3 stress fracture injury, Wimbledon 2022
Leylah Fernandez was playing for a spot in the semi-finals when she lost to Martina Trevisan in three sets. The significant story of the match was Fernandez's injury early in the first set. She has been diagnosed with a grade three stress fracture on the top of her right foot and will miss Wimbledon, aiming to return for the Washington tournament in early August. During her quarterfinal match, she took a medical timeout in the first set, and her coach, Jorge, advised her to retire. Jorge Fernandez explained that the injury became noticeable during a previous match but worsened during training before the quarterfinals. Despite showing signs of pain, Leylah insisted she was fine. During the match, her performance visibly declined, and Jorge expressed frustration and concern, both as a coach and a father. He emphasized the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment to avoid further risks to her career. Despite the injury, Leylah's determination impressed him, although it led to mixed emotions. The stress fracture is between her second and third toes, and while severe, it has not completely displaced the bone. Her body is showing signs of quick healing, which is a positive sign.
