TENNIS Illness stops Peng; Williams, Wozniacki in final By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Sep. 5, 2014 @ 8:15 pm Updated Sep 5, 2014 at 8:16 PM By The Associated Press Posted Sep. 5, 2014 @ 8:15 pm Updated Sep 5, 2014 at 8:16 PM » Social News NEW YORK — Overcome by heat and humidity in the second set of her U.S. Open semifinal, China’s Shuai Peng paused between points to clutch at her left thigh and put her weight on her racket as if it were a cane. Still, she tried to continue Friday against Caroline Wozniacki. One point later, Peng dropped her racket and grabbed at her right knee, then staggered toward the wall behind the baseline and leaned against it, wiping away tears, until a trainer ran to her side. Others arrived, too: a doctor, the chair umpire, a tournament official, a security guard, a ballkid with an umbrella to offer shelter from the sun. Fighting pain in both legs and her back, a limping Peng was helped over to a hallway adjacent to the court, where it was determined she had heat illness and needed treatment. In all, it was a 10-minute delay, which Wozniacki used to practice serving. Yet again, Peng tried to play on. She stuck it out for six more points, before collapsing to the ground, resting on her hands and knees as Wozniacki walked around the net to check on her. Peng stopped while trailing 7-6 (1), 4-3, allowing Denmark’s Wozniacki to reach her second Grand Slam final. At a news conference more than four hours later, Peng said she was feeling better. She was not sure whether, in the end, she was the one who said she had to retire or was told to (although tournament director David Brewer said it was Peng’s decision). Peng, who is 28, did recall how she reacted when the doctor suggested it might be a good idea to quit. “I said, ‘No, no, no. I don’t want to give up. I want to try one more time,’” said Peng, who was playing in her first semifinal in 37 career major tournaments. “I knew I’m not going to stay maybe too long, but I just want to try, you know. I just wanted to challenge her one more time.” Eventually, Peng was taken away in a wheelchair, closing the scary and surreal scene. “It was really hard to watch,” said the 10th-seeded Wozniacki, who lost the 2009 U.S. Open title match. “To see her struggling out there — I just wanted to make sure she was OK.” In Sunday’s final, Wozniacki will face good pal Serena Williams, who overwhelmed 17th-seeded Ekaterina Makarova of Russia 6-1, 6-3 to extend her U.S. Open winning streak to 20 matches. If she can make that 21 in a row, the No. 1-ranked Williams will become the first woman since Chris Evert in the 1970s to win three consecutive titles at the tournament. “I can say: Yes, she’s much better than everyone,” Makarova said, when asked to compare Williams to today’s other top players. Seeking a sixth U.S. Open championship and 18th major singles title overall, which would tie her with Evert and Martina Navratilova, Williams has won all 12 sets she’s played these two weeks.
