Dementieva retires after losing tiebreaker

[yisman]

First retirement of women's draw.

Still no word on why.

She retired after losing the first set tiebreak, 7-3.

She didn't ask for her trainer or anything, but after she lost, she walked over to the net and retired.

ESPN announcers claiming this is a surprise win for Schiavone, but I wouldn't say so, after the last round.

She went straight into the trainers room crying after the match.

first retirement in women's singles semi or final

first retirement by Dementieva in a major

Official word: Calf muscle

it's not really funny, Dementieva is a fighter and it must have hurt a lot for her to retire in a slam. but I wish she had at least called a trainer and gave it a try in the 2nd, she was just done mentally

Why didnt she just quit before the 1st damn set finished what a stupid cunt I hate that Demented bitch

[EaglesPhan36]

She had the leg problem prior to this match. At least at the SBR book, I think you get your points back on this play according to the tennis rules.

Dementieva would not have quit unless it was absolutely cast iron certainty that she could not have continued with the match.
She usually does not quit matches, and never before in a grand slam where she is so close to making the final.

[TennisBabe]

She said after the match she does not think she will play in Wimbledon
