A scary scene happened last night when
Emma Raducanu retired from her match against Ajla Tomljanovic.
The British player never returned to the court after taking an off-court medical timeout and people were left wondering what had happened. She was seen in distress on the court with doctors present trying to calm her down. The reason for the retirement was later given as "difficulty breathing" with no follow up until today.
On Twitter, Raducanu posted a heartfelt message where she explained that she experienced trouble breathing along with dizziness at the end of the first set. She was devastated to retire from the match but it was the recommendation of the doctors. She did not specify what caused the issue but vowed to come back stronger.
