Raducanu withdrew from the tournament due to health issues: what happened.

According to The Sun: Emma Raducanu shared her impressions after the unfortunate experience at the Wuhan Open tournament.

The 22-year-old British tennis player withdrew from her first-round match on Tuesday due to health issues.

She felt dizzy due to the excessive heat and high humidity, which one of the tennis players described as 'a fight for survival.'

Medics checked her blood pressure, temperature, vision, and heart rate during the examination on the court.

With the score at 6-1, 4-1 in favor of Ann Li, Raducanu decided that she could not continue the match and left the game in a stressful situation.

On Saturday, the former US Open champion informed fans of positive news via Threads, noting that she had undergone regular medical check-ups.

“The last day at the doctor in Wuhan... I feel better.”

“I regret that I couldn't continue, but thank you for your messages.”

Raducanu accompanied her post with a photo from the medical center, in which she is dressed in a blue hoodie and sunglasses.

Many fans reacted to her post with words of support.

One of them wrote: “Take care of yourself, Emma.”

Another added: “I wish you all the best, Emma, always.”

And yet another noted: “Use the time to rest.”

However, Raducanu seems ready to return to the court during the next part of the Asian tour of the tennis season.

She was set to receive a wild card to participate in the Ningbo Open. However, after other participants declined, she received a direct entry into the WTA 500 tournament.

In the first round, she will play against wild card Zhu Lin, who is ranked 230th in the world.

Not only has Raducanu faced difficulties under challenging conditions in China this week.

'THIS IS NO LONGER TENNIS'

Magdalena Frech expressed on social media: “In response to the wave of negative reviews and comments after the last match, I want to say that sometimes I regret it, but I am not a machine.”

“It seems to me that the organizers treat us like this when they create the schedule and force us to play three days in a row under extreme conditions. Unfortunately, this has affected my health, which I always prioritize.”

“Playing at 36 degrees with high smog, searing concrete, and extreme humidity is possible, but not if it happens every day.”

“Unfortunately, the accumulation of efforts has its consequences. I have never felt anything like this: fatigue and a constant battle with negative thoughts trying to stop my body from making another effort.”

“Throwing the ball onto the court has become a great challenge. This is no longer a tennis match, but just a fight for survival!”

At the Shanghai Masters, Jannik Sinner withdrew due to severe cramps, and Holger Rune asked: “Do you want a player to die on the court?”

Novak Djokovic could barely move during a shocking semi-final defeat to Valentin Vacherot.

The world number 204 Vacherot then defeated his cousin Arthur Rinderknech in a surprising final, becoming the lowest-ranked champion in Masters 1000 history.

Rinderknech needed treatment during the match and then fell off the stage during an emotional awards ceremony.

This situation draws attention to the conditions under which tennis tournaments take place and raises questions about the health of athletes. Overheated courts and high humidity can affect performance and player safety. More than ten athletes have already expressed their dissatisfaction with these conditions through social media, prompting organizers to reconsider approaches to match scheduling in such situations.
