French Open finalist Pavlyuchenkova out for 10 weeks with knee injury
French Open finalist Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova has a knee injury that will rule her out of action for up to 10 weeks, she said on Tuesday. The 30-year-old Russian reached a career-high ranking of number 11 in November after a successful 2021 season in which she reached her maiden Grand Slam final in Paris, won the Olympic mixed doubles gold medal and led Russia to the Billie Jean King Cup title. "Unfortunately, I'm out for 10 weeks, due to my ongoing knee injury. Doing my rehab and everything I can to be back soon and as fit as ever," Pavlyuchenkova tweeted.
New Zealand not focused on Test rankings, says Kyle Jamieson
Kyle Jamieson does not expect his New Zealand teammates to be focused on reclaiming the number one spot in the world Test rankings when they take on South Africa in the second clash in their two-match series on Friday. The Blackcaps thrashed the visiting South Africans in their first meeting in Christchurch last week and another win over the Proteas would see the New Zealanders replace Australia at the top of the Test rankings. A draw would give New Zealand their first series win over the South Africans, and Jamieson stressed the squad would be thinking only about the task at hand. "I think for the group, it's about each Test as it comes," Jamieson said. "There's other things that just come through the work of each session and each day. "While it's cool to get those milestones and stuff, it's not the focal point. It's about us trying to back up that last game, and if we do that, hopefully we'll come away with a win."
