Wild card’s screams after knee injury

A FEMALE tennis player was taken to hospital after injuring her knee on court yesterday.

Bethanie Mattek-sands was left in agony, screaming “please help me” after suffering the fall on Court 17. The American wild card was just starting the third set against Romanian Sorana Cîrstea when she collapsed as she ran to the net and attempted to volley. Clutching her right knee, she screamed: “Please help me, help me, help me.”

Cîrstea called for medical help. Mattek-sands was on court for 15 minutes before being taken away on a stretcher.
