“It’s heartbreaking,” Barty, 25, said, explaining that she had suffered the “new” injury in training last week.

“The last three months have been fantastic, with very few setbacks, and what happened today and this week here in Paris is not going to remove that.”

“It’s really disappointing to end like this. I’ve had my fair share of tears this week. Everything is fine. Everything happens for a reason,” she said, noting that “there will be a silver lining to this in the end. Once I find out What it is, it will make me feel a little better.”

The draw gave me the confidence that I still had energy and something to give.”

The 39-year-old, who is participating for the first time in a Grand Slam since the Australian Open 2020, added, “I was clear in my shots and I run more forward, not backward… It is good to play in such conditions and against an opponent like him.”
