Back problems are rather common in tennis.
Roger Federer and Serena Williams have been struggling for some time and Rafael Nadal has lost a terrible final against Wawrinka as he was completely hampered by a back injury.
Serena’s start of the season was seriously affected by her injury to crash out in Melbourne to Ana Ivanovic (quarters) and in Dubai to Alize Cornet (semis).
Now Serena feels she is much better.
Serena: the back is good
”The back is good,” the American said . ”It’s much better. It’s really good, actually. I’ve been doing tons of treatment to make sure it stays loose, so I don’t have any problems.”
