Tennis world shocked after scores of players drop out of Miami Open

MIAMI

The tennis world reacted with shock after favorites Paula Badosa and Jannik Sinner had to retire during the quarterfinals of the Miami Open. Badosa, soon to be the number three in the world, became unwell during her match against Jessica Pegula and left the court in tears.

Badosa, who was comforted by her American opponent, decided to stop after consultation with her physiotherapist. Pegula reached the semifinals of the Miami tennis tournament for the first time in her career after Badosa’s resignation, reported Yahoo Sports.

In the men’s tournament, the Italian phenomenon Jannik Sinner was forced to withdraw. He gave up after 22 minutes in the game against Francisco Cerundolo, the number 103 in the world ranking. “When I served at 3-1 and 30-0, I saw him bend over. It was very strange,” Cerundolo said during an interview. “I hope he’s okay, he’s a great player.”

Well let’s see how it goes. They’ve been good at covering up.

It sounds like something in the food or water at that tournament.

Seems more logical, given the number of players having to withdraw. As much as many here would like to blame it on the COVID vaccines, that many getting ill within days of each other sounds like your suggestion.

Oh, good grief. Almost all the players who dropped out dropped out previously, not during competition. Combination of prior injury issues, a 65% cut in prize money, Omicron BA.2 worries (overstated IMO, but I can understand a tennis player who would not want to take ANY risk of lung damage*), and an unruly / violent social scene in the area. Serena Williams had a minor surgery. This girl Victoria Azarenka has some sort of personal stress problem (likely related to a very troubled family life).

*OTOH, due at least partially to COVID restrictions, previously Novak Djokovic had stated: " @DjokerNole Dear fans, I’m very sorry to announce that this year I won’t travel to Miami to compete. I decided to use this precious time at home to stay with my family. With all restrictions, I need to find balance in my time on tour and at home. I look forward to coming back next year!

See my post #47. We have a lot of FReepers who’ve just gone bananas.

It’s happened before due to viral infections breaking out.

But this would not be the first time the vaccine has apparently travelled through time.
