During the match of the second round of the tournament in Montreal between Ukrainian Elina Svitolina and Romanian Michael Buzarnescu there was a terrible incident.

Ukrainian rival injured her ankle and fell to the court in pain. Elina ran to Michael to help.

"I immediately saw that this is a very, very serious injury. I was shocked. She was in pain. It became clear to me immediately. I did not know what to actually do.

I think it is necessary that several people who have medical training, were on the court all the time.

Because neither I nor the judge in the tower, we do not know what to do if such situations happen when the injuries are so serious as that which Buzarnescu received, "Elina said after the match.

Mihaela left the court in a wheelchair with the help of medical staff. Ukrainka also wished her colleague a speedy recovery in her Twiitter.

Before the terrible incident athletes took the set, in the third Svitolina was in the lead-6: 3, 6: 7 (5), 4: 3 (ret).

Recall, at the European Athletics Championships, Ukrainian Natalia Prishepa helped reach a rival who fell.
