Tough luck for Sabine Lisicki that had to retire from Pattaya after getting injured in the first round against Donna Vekic.
Sabine: Now priority is to get healthy
“It was pretty obvious I wasn’t able to serve in the second and third sets,” she said on Tuesday.
“I love the tournament so much, especially after last year playing in the finals. I wanted to do better this year. I tried everything and won the match yesterday and was hoping it could get better overnight, but unfortunately it didn’t.
“Now the first plan is for me to get healthy again. I will see my doctors at home and make plans from there.”
Sabine’s retirement will give the opportunity to Andrea Hlavackova to get to the quarters.
