"How your foot can just stick sometimes. I mean, you see a lot of players go over on their ankles, and not have the ability to push off their feet."
Asked if organizers should do something, she said: "It's up to them ... I've never had a major injury out there but I've seen some other times it go on. But, I mean, we're used to playing on a lot of different surfaces."
PRESIDENTIAL HIT
Colombia's first Grand Slam semifinalist, Fabiola Zuluaga, may be about to play the biggest match of her career, but she's used to the spotlight.
Zuluaga, seeded 32nd, advanced to the semifinals of the Australian Open after Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo withdrew with a back injury.
Zuluaga has played tennis with two former presidents from her homeland. The most memorable was with Colombia's previous president, Andres Pastrana.
"He [Pastrana] plays good tennis, but I was the one that had to run all over the court when we played doubles together," Zuluaga said.
Presidents of Colombia are known for rewarding citizens who excel, but Zuluaga says she has yet to hear from current president Alvaro Uribe.
Her phone has been constantly ringing, however, with messages of support from family and friends. "They are getting crazy and they are so happy and have been calling me many times," Zuluaga said.
Zuluaga plays top-seeded Justine Henin-Hardenne tomorrow.
