Bethanie Mattek-Sands broke down in tears on Saturday as she relived the sickening injury which shocked Wimbledon and has left her facing surgery to repair a dislocated kneecap.
The 32-year-old American collapsed to the court after her right knee buckled in her second round match against Sorana Cirstea on Thursday. She was left screaming in pain: "Please, help me, please, please" in scenes so distressing that TV cameras panned away from the stricken star.
On Saturday, Mattek-Sands said she had dislocated the patella and ruptured the patella tendon in her knee and will need surgery.
"I have had lots of injuries in my career but this is definitely the worst. I am flying to New York today to see more doctors to see what's going on with the knee," an emotional Mattek-Sands said in a Facebook Live video. "I will be out for a while but I will get through this."
Mattek-Sands has 24 doubles titles including seven at the majors and a mixed doubles gold at the Olympics last year.
