James Blake experienced renewed pain in his knee during his match against Robin Haase in the first round of Wimbledon. The American said if it continues then he may consider retirement.

Blake quoted, "if it doesn't get better soon, I'm not sure how much longer I want to play in pain. It was feeling great in Eastourne, and then had a little setback.” He further added that "no excuse for the way I played today. I played with this for quite a while in a bit of pain... it go to a point where I just couldn't take playing at 80 percent."

 Blake has already undergone PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy on his knee, but he is feeling the pain again.  Blake further confirmed that he would see how this injury goes on over the summer and then give a second-thought to his career, "obviously now I've got two weeks where I'm not playing a match. I'll see how it reacts to new treatments. If it would continuing to play in pain, I'll reassess after the Open and see if I want to continue that. If I need to, after the Open, take the rest of the year off and then see if I can start fresh in 2011.”
