Wimbledon'It gets harder and harder' — Clijsters questions whether Williams will extend her comeback5 HOURS AGO Tan cited a thigh injury for her sudden withdrawal from the doubles, but the 24-year-old's decision did not go down at all well with Korpatsch, who posted two angry messages on social media. The German, who lost out to Britain's Heather Watson in the first round of the singles, wrote on Instagram: “Unfortunately my doubles partner H. Tan retired from our doubles today.

“She just texted me this morning. Let me wait here one hour before the match start. I’m very sad, disappointed and also very angry that I can’t play my first doubles Grand Slam.

“And it’s really not fair for me I didn’t deserve that. She asked me before the tournament if we wanna play doubles and I said yes, I didn’t ask her, she asked me! If you’re broken after a 3h match the day before, you can’t play professional. That’s my opinion.” /> In a separate post on Instagram, she said: «My partner Harmony Tan retired from our doubles just today in the morning.

For me [it's] not fair to tell me so late. »She can't run cause she played a three-hour match yesterday. Sorry, but I've played 6:33h in one day
