French Open champion Iga Swiatek said she will know in the coming days how serious her thigh injury is and whether she can defend her title at Roland Garros which gets under way on May 28.
Injured Swiatek a doubt for French Open

The 21-year-old world No. 1 retired from Wednesday's Italian Open quarter-final with Kazakhstan's Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina. The match was delicately poised at one set apiece and 2-2 in the decider, when the two-time defending champion felt unwell.

"We're checking it (the injury)," tweeted the Polish star, who also won the French Open in 2020.

"During the second set, I got a thigh injury. The diagnostic is in progress. More info in the following days. Will keep you updated."

Swiatek, the reigning US Open champion, had roared through the first set but, after receiving treatment, she called a halt.

Nick Kyrgios, meanwhile, is certain to be absent from Roland Garros. His agent revealed that his withdrawal was due to a cut foot suffered when a man allegedly stole his car at gunpoint, rather than knee surgery.

Bitcoin miners pivot to South-east Asia after China crackdown

The 6.9ha cement slab in the middle of a Borneo industrial area once belonged to a logging company. Long ago, that business abandoned the site to the elements, leaving just rudimentary structures and a four-storey concrete birdhouse made to lure swiftlets whose nests, built with saliva, fetch high prices in China.
