Wimbledon 2023 Day 8: Elena Rybakina advances to Wimbledon quarter-finals after Maia's injury

Posted : 10 July 2023
Defending champion Elena Rybakina advanced to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon as her opponent, Beatriz Haddad Maia, retired with an injury. Rybakina broke in the fourth game, but Haddad Maia showed immediate discomfort with her lower back. After a tearful medical timeout, Haddad Maia returned for one more game before conceding the match.
 
In other matches, second seed Aryna Sabalenka was set to face Ekaterina Alexandrova, while Ons Jabeur was scheduled to take on Petra Kvitova.
 
Rybakina had a strong start, hitting an ace with her first serve and securing a break in the fourth game. However, Haddad Maia experienced a back injury that hindered her movement and ability to reach the ball. Despite attempting to continue after a medical timeout, Haddad Maia eventually signaled that she could not continue, leading to Rybakina's victory.
 
Rybakina expressed her sympathy for Haddad Maia and acknowledged the unfortunate circumstances. She hoped that the injury was not serious and expressed her gratitude for advancing to the next round.
 
Haddad Maia, who reached the fourth round of Wimbledon for the first time, had previously achieved her best ranking as the first Brazilian woman to break into the top 10 of the WTA rankings after an impressive run at Roland Garros.
