Promising tennis player Jeon Mi-ra, a junior under coach Shin Eun-jung, has disclosed the precise cause of her recent on-court injury. The athlete suffered a significant thigh issue that led to a dramatic serve mishap during a match.
Initial Injury Report
On the 25th, Jeon Mi-ra initially downplayed the incident, stating that no specific cause existed and that such injuries commonly occur amid rigorous training and competitive play. She described it vaguely as a typical setback in her demanding schedule.
Frank Update on Injury Severity
By the 28th, Jeon Mi-ra provided a candid update, explaining, ‘I was competing actively when the injury struck suddenly.’ She pinpointed the problem to her thigh, which was already hurting badly beforehand. This pre-existing pain caused her serve to go awry, resulting in the shocking moment on court.
Fan Speculations and Medical Findings
Fans had speculated wildly, suggesting possibilities like gout, lower leg varicose veins, or viral tendonitis. However, ultrasound results cleared up the confusion: no muscle damage, no ligament tears, no varicose veins, and nothing deemed serious. Jeon Mi-ra noted, ‘My thigh muscle at the Champion training center is among the best they’ve seen—praised as top-quality.’
Despite the all-clear, she questioned the severe swelling, adding that there was no muscle tear or pooled blood. She emphasized protecting the area during serves moving forward.
Path to Recovery
Jeon Mi-ra expressed determination to recover, saying she plans to elevate her leg and rest. ‘Tomorrow, the swelling should subside, and I’ll apply a thigh guard,’ she shared, signaling her intent to return to action soon.
