[@apomtaylor8054]

it’s crazy, i lost my first boxing match after being 27-0 in amateurs when i was 15 due to a cramp. It hit me for like one second and I went down. My corner was telling me to get up but all i could think was fook that. I honestly thought I was dying it’s so scary.

[@DonaldDump2024]

MrSiingh Exactly. I couldn’t have gone on with the match like she did. The cramp (hamstring usually ) is so painful and if I exert the muscle any it comes back and sometimes starts in other muscles. Summers are worse because I work outside sweat like a sieve and I like tea and coffee which are diuretics.

For those who said that she was being dramatic, cramps is fucking painful... I'm a healthy 27 years old male, and I screamed like a raped chihuahua for 1 minute when cramps hit. Now add the fact that she is so close to serving out the match, the gallery clapping and urging her on to not give up... can't you blame her for crying? That said, her opponent is too soft... cramping, though sucks, is not an injury, it is part of your body conditioning as an athlete to prevent that from happening in a match. she should have attack her more by giving a few moonballs, slices and drop shots to have her bends and run around, especially back and forth.

[@Schelle7000]

Yep, cramps are painful, which is exactly why this slamless vulture had no business making fun of Rafael Nadal at the USO in 2011 after he cramped during his press conference after a match. I'm glad this pusher lost her match at the AO today, and long may her losses continue.

Ok I think the WTA needs to get rid of the number of times you can get treatment for an injury. As a trainer I'd have a hard time seeing a player in that much pain and sit idly by. As soon as she hit the ground I'd be running trying to give her some relief or something.

[@lolipedofin]

There's always the option for retirement (match, not career). No one is forcing Wozniacki to continue on here. I also think the entourage has the ability to enforce a doctor stop if the athlete is really pushing dangerously hard. The problem is, injuries are part of the sport and suppose to be part of the athlete conditioning obligation, especially cramps, which basically means running out of gas. There are actually athletes in ATP who complained that cramping should not be treated as injury at all, because it takes away the advantage of other athletes that actually has better stamina.

[@justinnanu4338]

Cramps are not considered an injury. They are considered a conditioning issue. If you're not fit to play, you retire.

she lost 0-6 in the first set, then eventually lost to a person suffering from full blown cramps, so she doesn't even deserve to make it to the next round.

I remember watching this match against Vera Zvonareva when Caroline Wozniacki was able to fight through a full-body cramp to achieve Victory, When I saw Caroline get her hard fought Victory, I said to myself that this young tennis player had the makings of a future Grand Slam Champion. I am so happy for Caroline, Her family & Friends, and all her fans around the world that finally the Australian Open Grand Slam was won today, I want to pay my respects to Simona Halep for Her Amazing performances throughout this Australian Open, Counting this Final that was played today, She was In 3 "WTA match of the year" candidate matches in my opinion, The others being her victories over AngelIque Kerber & Lauren Davis. I will be rooting for Halep hard to score her breakthrough Slam at the French Open. Both Caroline Wozniacki & Simona Halep are great Ambassadors for the WTA Tour & World Tennis In general, I hope that they have more Grand Slam finals against each other, Thank You.

Mad respect, I’ve had serious cramps (calves) while playing sport and had to drag myself off the court for five minutes to allow the game to continue till I could walk again. This young lady gets up after 20 seconds and somehow keeps going.

[@Nordicroo]

If you have a cramp you need to use the muscle opposite of the one cramping to relieve it. For example, if your calf muscle is cramping, grab the front of your foot and push forward towards your hand. This will use the muscle on top of the front of the leg (Shin) and that will release the muscle underneath (Calf). It's a simple technique that will work on other cramps. The idea is to make the body release one muscle because it is shifting to the opposite one. I saw a doctor doing this. It works.

[@blueshoes5145]

Oh its a thing. Cool. I didnt know but thats what i do when i had cramps. The pain was unbearable and i tried anything to get rid of it. Thats when i realised that doing this helps.

[@krystingrant6292]

I'll try this I run track

[@mikecorazza4294]

I know this is a long time later but how do you do this, when 4-5 muscles are cramping all at once. I've had what happened to her 3 times now and when you go to stretch the 1st one cramping, another cramps in totally different area. Go to stretch opposite of that and another in different area. Imagine 4-5 muscles cramping all at once like an attack for 1 hour like this. It's excruciating and terrifying because you can't find a position to stretch anything and you end up falling to the ground and flailing around..she mentions in another video she needed IV fluids.. it's terrifying.

[@Nordicroo]

@@mikecorazza4294 adding to what I said above. It is extremely important to warm up and stretching muscles before commencing any exercise routine. I trained martial arts over many years and found that to be crucial to not having cramps. Also, at the end of exercising, it's equally important to warm down and do light stretching. DON'T skip doing these two simple steps. They will also help in the long term in avoiding serious or permanent injuries. Another trick to help, as used by the SAS, is to finish with a cold shower. It stimulates blood flow and healing. Good luck! Cheers!

[@mikecorazza4294]

@PJ thanks for the follow up all these years later! And totally understand and agree with what you said. But please know I've played years of competitive tennis and had the routine of all the things you said. Even was hydrating the night before, moring of matches, even prioritized sleep because I've noticed if I play hardcore sports and sleep poorly that night, I'll wake up more sore because I know muscles need sleep for recovery too. I could list you all the things before, during and after matches and it's way more than anybody I know does. And none of them cramp. Again, I'm not talking about 1 muscle cramp. I can deal with that. I'm talking about a series of events in what is an hour of my body attacking itself. My doctors are baffled and admitted true source of cramps is speculation. And they said what I'm expressing is more serious.

[@mandyd6141]

Zvonareva should have hit drop shots. Or maybe that would be considered unsportsmanlike.

[@alekd4415]

Marbles McGee Yeah lol, it would be really cruel, but effective

[@Nycgoomba]

No, if wozniacki decided to keep playing even though she was in debilitating pain, it's not her opponent's obligation to play nice bc she's hurting. She decided she was well enough to play the full game, drop shots and all

[@MoKingson]

Honestly this is so inspirational.

VeriTroll Worthy jr. And then got back up and finished the match, Lebron ran off to the locker room with a few minutes left.

[@veritrollworthyjr.4387]

Rayvyn007 actually he played the 3 quarter and went out with 7 mins left in 4th, came back in and had to go back out with 2 mins left. they dont stop the game of basketball for 1 player. tennis on the otherhand...how long was she laying on the ground? 10 mins? yah good comparison brah.

[@Rayvyn007]

VeriTroll Worthy jr. Nonetheless she got back up and finished the game, how long did James have to recover? Plenty of time. She wasn't lying on the ground for ten minutes, she was down for about one minute. Her legs gave out and she was playing outside in like 100 degree heat. And the tennis players play longer, spend more time out in the hot sun. You're right there is no comparison. That girl is in better condition and has way more tolerance for pain than Lebron James. As you may or may not know, women typically have a much higher tolerance for pain than men. I know it must hurt to know that a woman can be tougher than a man(I'm a guy BTW) but this is the case with Wozniaki and James.

[@sliminy5818]

[@jovetj]

+kill pill Quite frankly, tennis isn't a sport for wimps. The rule makes perfect sense to me....if you have to pause a match 4 times for your injury, you probably shouldn't be playing. You show up to play, and if you can't do that, you withdraw. You don't make the opponent or crowd wait and tolerate your not readiness. If you can't play your match, you withdraw, and automatically lose. It happens all the time, and not just because of injury.
