The father of the 19-year-old tennis player said in a conference that he was letting his daughter now the agent not matter the outcome of these teams and she would not be able to continue on to the next round. He then told her that it’s better to protect yourself and save her leg so that she can come back and play again, rather than further injure herself which could lead to larger complications later.
