Bad news from Petra Kvitova.
The world no.4 had already to skip Indian Wells and Miami because of fatigue and she has struggled in some other tournaments such as Madrid, but of course it was difficult for her to identify the problem.
How she uncovered..
Petra revealed “I had a sore throat and I wanted to kill it so I had antibiotics after Wimbledon. Unfortunately I didn’t kill it and that’s why it showed my immune system was low. So I had more tests and it showed up.
I spent a few days off in Monaco as a vacation and then I was trying to practice a little bit. Unfortunately I found out I was diagnosed with mono. So it’s going to be a little tougher for me to practice in a good way.”
… how she feels about it
Petra shared how she felt after uncovering her problem “At first I was a little bit scared. I didn’t know if I could play the US tournaments this summer or maybe if I could play at all for the rest of the season.
On the other side I think it’s positive news. I know now why I’m still tired and feeling so badly. That’s the good news for me.”
Federer was also diagnosed with mono back in 2008, but that didn’t prevent him to show some more greatness, let’s hope the same will also apply to Petra.
