Does anyone have any information on Petkovic's injury? I saw the match she lost to jankovic in Cincy. She had a heavily taped leg that hindered her movement. The rumor was that she had a small tear in the meniscus. Many prognosticators are picking her to go deep at the USO. If she comes out with her leg looking like it did last week, she won't go far in a 2 week tournament

Her last interview

TENNIS.com: We watched you play after you suffered the knee injury in your win over Petrova in Cincinnati. What’s the status of your knee and how do you feel less than a week before the start of the Open?

Andrea Petkovic: Well, I definitely have a tear in my meniscus and it’s still a little inflamed. The problem is really not actually the meniscus itself, because I have enough muscles to hold it. When I injured it, it was swollen up and all the water inside the knee is disturbing it and it’s not stable right now. So I am trying to get rid of the water on the knee right now and get rid of the swelling, and I think I’m going to be fine then.
