Madison Keys Forced to Retire Due to Injury at Wimbledon, Jasmine Paolini Advances to Quarter-Finals

A little drama unfolded on Court 1 at Wimbledon this Sunday. Madison Keys, in tears, had to resign herself to abandoning against Jasmine Paolini while she had narrowly escaped victory a few minutes earlier, leading 5-2 double break before injuring her left thigh and having to give up continuing this spectacular and emotional fight. The American, who had just conceded an ace, preferred to leave it there after 2 hours and 23 minutes of play, losing 6-3, 6-7(6), 5-5 (15-A) and letting her opponent slip away to her first quarter-final at Wimbledon. She will face another American, Coco Gauff or Emma Navarro.

The Roland-Garros finalist came within two points of victory in the deciding game of a second set that was already full of twists and turns, as she came back from 5-1, 40-15 down before losing on the wire. We thought we had settled the score. But that was without her extraordinary fighting spirit. And without the bad luck that struck Madison, of course. At 5-4, the latter left the court for a long medical timeout during which she had her left adductor strapped. But we quickly saw upon her return, when she could barely walk and push off on her legs, that it would be complicated. She tried to close on her serve but, once it was lost on a double fault, it was a lost cause.

A stroke of luck for the Italian but she fully deserves the good fortune that is currently accompanying her. She who had never won a match on grass before this year therefore follows a semi-final in Eastbourne with a first quarter-final here. She is the fifth Italian to reach the “big 8” in London after Laura Golarsa (1989), Silvia Farina Elia (2003), Francesca Schiavone (2009) and Camila Giorgi (2018).
