Tazio Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 The other thing to consider of course that she’s a young woman and may have issues with endometriosis or the beginnings of it.

Seems more likely that the difficulty breathing and tears were down to or indirectly caused by the injury. Would be surprised if she pulled out because of a panic attack.

Actually thought he was half drunk too. Also implied she wasn't up to the challenge just yet. Just thought he was a bit harsh. He doesn't know what's wrong with her. It's also her first big event and still getting used to the power of the elite players.

He basically just assumed it was all down to emotion/pressure/panic attack rather than even considering that it was physical. He clearly knew how it was sou ding though and bleated on for another 45 seconds talking about how he struggled with emotions on court (coming out as anger for him though) and that the Pros today could teach her a thing or too about how to stay composed. I missed the end of 1st set/start of 2nd set so never seen much before the last 2 games. Everything after that though seemed quite panic attacky.
