Victoria Mboko Injury Blow Puts Serena Williams Partnership at Queen’s in Doubt

Victoria Mboko’s singles campaign at the Queen’s Club Championships ended in unfortunate circumstances after the Canadian was forced to retire through injury during her match against Karolina Pliskova.

The timing of the injury could have wider implications beyond Queen’s.

Mboko is currently listed to compete at next week’s WTA 500 Berlin Open and is also expected to be among the seeded players for Wimbledon.

With the grass-court Grand Slam scheduled to begin on 29 July, attention will now turn to medical assessments and whether the Canadian can recover in time to continue her summer campaign.

For now, organisers, supporters and fellow players will await further updates on the extent of the injury.
