At 1-0 down in the first set against France's Alize Cornet, the 22-year-old hit her first winner of the match, then rubbed her shoulder, called for the trainer and finally retired.
Despite spending only 10 minutes on court, she received $30 000 for competing in the first round and 10 ranking points, raising questions about whether she knew about her injury and should have made way for another player.
