00:00Well, I didn't hit the ball since Kara's match, so until like an hour before today's match.
00:08Yeah, I did everything I possibly can to basically manage the muscle tear that I had and medications
00:17and I guess the strap and the physio work helped to some extent today.
00:24But, yeah, towards the end of that first set I just started feeling more and more pain
00:31and it was, yeah, too much to, I guess, to handle for me at the moment.
00:35So, yeah, unfortunate ending but I tried.
