(Archyde.com) – Australian tennis player Daria Saville said on Wednesday that the injury she suffered during a match against Naomi Osaka was a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee.
Saville withdrew due to injury during her match against Osaka in the women’s singles first round at the Toray Pan Pacific Open on the 20th. She underwent an MRI on Thursday, which revealed her torn anterior cruciate ligament, the second after her in 2013.
“Don’t worry about me. Sorry for worrying you guys,” Savile tweeted. During the match, he said he injured himself when he hit his forehand and shouted “my knee.”
“I was really scared,” Osaka said after the match.
Saville was known as Daria Gavrilova until she married male player Luke Saville last year.
