THE All England Club insists it provided Bethanie Mattek-Sands with urgent medical assistance almost immediately after the doubles star suffered a sickening knee injury.
The American wildcard fell awkwardly during the third set of her Wimbledon second-round singles clash with Sorana Cirstea and spent several minutes screaming in agony.
“Please help me! Please! Please! F***!”” Mattek-Sands screamed as she clutched her right knee.
Her Romanian opponent was visibly shaken after going to the aid of the 32-year-old, who was targeting a rare doubles grand slam sweep in tandem with Lucie Safarova after their successes at the US, Australian and French Opens.
“F*** it hurts, f*** me it hurts. Have you given me any f***ing painkillers? These painkillers are not working,” she was heard to say before she was taken off the court, according to The Sun.
“Please knock me out, please knock me out.”
The injury to her knee was so gruesome that she asked the medics to cover it up with a towel.
