Recently, Robin Roberts made an unexpected entrance with her right arm in a cast, triggering memories of a previous instance where she hosted the show with her arm in a sling. This flashback occurred after she underwent surgery for a shoulder injury, believed to be the result of the wear and tear from her basketball career and her unwavering passion for tennis.
It’s noteworthy that Roberts has endured more right arm injuries than her co-host Michael Strahan, a Hall of Fame NFL player. Fortunately, this time around, the injury is not related to her shoulder, and it’s reassuringly not too severe.
Taking to social media, Roberts shared a lighthearted video of herself striking a fighting pose, humorously quipping, “You oughta see the other guy.” She clarified that she fractured her right wrist during a tennis match, humorously attributing the mishap to a pivotal moment in the game.
Despite the setback, Robin proceeded to host the show as usual, demonstrating her characteristic resilience and dedication to her work. It’s clear that even with her injury, Roberts’ passion for tennis remains undiminished. And with the recent premiere of the movie “Challengers,” set in the world of tennis and featuring Zendaya, the sport’s popularity has only continued to soar. While it’s uncertain if Zendaya is Roberts’ tennis partner indirectly responsible for her injury, it’s safe to assume that her love for the game remains unwavering.
