Today, I’m gonna talk about something a bit different, but still super interesting, I just tried to study Serena Williams’ foot situation, let’s go!
So, I started reading up on her recent time off the court. Remember when she slipped and hurt her leg at Wimbledon in 2021? Man, that was rough. She even tore her hamstring, sounds painful! I read somewhere that it happened during her first set against Aliaksandra Sasnovich. She had to leave the game and people saw her in tears, it was sad. I did also watch the match that day, and I was so worried for her.
After that, she was off the court for like a whole year. She tried to come back for the US Open, but it took longer than she thought to recover. That must’ve been so frustrating! I saw she posted something about medical tape on her cheek for sinus problems. And it got me thinking about all the other health stuff she’s dealt with.
I dug a little deeper and found out about the time she had a pulmonary embolism. She was coughing up blood and having problems with her breathing. She even had to push her doctors to take her seriously, good on her for advocating for herself! They did a CT scan and found out she had blood clots in her lungs. Can you imagine?
- First, I watched the full game video again to ensure what happened.
- Second, I found the news about her injury.
- Third, I tried to find out whether she was injured before and how it hurt her.
- I finally found that she got pulmonary embolism.
My Steps About Serena’s Foot:
Anyway, despite all that, she hinted that she might come back to tennis. She even said, “I am not retired” and “You can come to my house, I have a court.” I was like, whoa, is she serious? After all this, she’s still thinking about playing again? Now I really get the point and realized she is so tough!
I gotta say, researching all this made me admire Serena even more. She’s gone through so much, but she’s still so strong and determined. It’s really inspiring to see how she handles everything that comes her way.
That’s it for my little research project on Serena Williams. Hope you guys found it as interesting as I did!
