“The problem is in the lumbar region and, honestly, I have to say that it doesn’t look good… I will try to do everything possible to be ready to compete at my best level“, she declared at a press conference. As usual, the Kazakh spoke very little at a press conference. But, in any case, she seems concerned. Will she be able to play on Monday?
