French Open finalist Lucie Safarova has been hospitalised in the Czech Republic with an unspecified infectious disease, and it's not clear when she might recover.
Safarova posted a message with a photo on Wednesday from the hospital in Brno on Facebook: "It's been really hard month for me. Injury and now fighting bacteria infection in hospital!"
Safarova has already qualified for the WTA Finals in Singapore in doubles with Bethanie Mattek-Sands, for winning the Australian and French opens, and stands a good chance to qualify in singles having reached her highest world ranking of No.5.
She also hopes to lead the Czechs in the Fed Cup final in November against Russia.
