After yesterdays match I knew there was something seriously wrong with my shoulder. After taking a few different exams and MRI’s this morning, the doctors found two small tears in the tendons of my shoulder. There are so many mixed feelings because last night they were almost positive there was something wrong with my nerve which could have ultimately been much more serious but after the tests this morning, for the first time in a while, they were able to give me a different answer and a different problem. But on the other hand this is something that needs a lot of time to heal, which really hurts me to say that I have to miss the Olympics.
This is what Maria Sharapova wrote on her blog today. It’s unfortunate to say the least. She has expressed numerous times about how excited she was to play for Russia in the Olympic Games. She’ll have to wait until London 2012 for that now. Don’t count on her lighting up New York this year either.
I talked to a bunch of people about this shoulder injury and if she undergoes arthroscopic surgery (which I found out would be her best bet in the long run) it could take about 3-4 months to heal/rehab.
