Azarenka in hospital with mild concussion!
by Barbora Misakova

While central Europe is battling with winter-reminding weather, North America, especially people living around New York have to cope with one of the worst heats. U.S. open is in full swing, but tennis players have their best no to drop tennis rackets from their sweaty hands. “The weather was my biggest enemy today.” said Ljubicic. “I mean, throughout my career I struggled with the heat. I am not really coping really well with that, and I tried all kind of different tactics to deal with it. I never find the right one.” Temperatures that were in the mid-90s at midday were making troubles also to other players. Also Gisela Dulko said the conditions were! brutal. “It is really hot, really humid. You sweat so much; sometimes it is impossible to hold the racket.” she said to reporters. Apart from heat, she had to deal also with a shock, when her rival the 10th-seeded Belarusian Victoria Azarenka collapsed at the court. As Dulko later said, she was scared when she saw Azarenka suddenly went to the floor. Azarenka was trailing Dulko 5-1 when after 31 minutes of play she stopped running and crumpled to the ground. The accident occurred at 11:30, but as later statement was saying, it was a head injury, not the heat, that set Azarenka up for the fall. “I was warming up in the gym prior to my match against Gisela Dulko when I fell while running a sprint.” she said. After the tests which diagnosed a mild concussion, she will stay in hospital for observation.
