Australian Open: Seles goes through
The opening match of the day at the Australian Open ended when Spaniard Anabel Medina Garrigues injured her knee in the seventh game against 10th seed Monica Seles.
Garrigues had broken in the first game, but trailed 2-4 0-15 when she stretched and went down writhing in agony.
After treatment she tried to continue, but was not able to run at all and one point was enough to convince her she could not continue.
The 19-year-old was in tears as she returned to her chair.
It put four-time champion Seles through to a quarter-final against either Martina Hingis or Amanda Coetzer.
