American tennis player Sloane Stephens encountered a bee sting during her first-round match against Poland's Magdalena Frech at the WTA Parma Ladies Open tournament.
The incident happened during the third set of the match when the score was 4-4. The American immediately called for a physio and resumed the match after a brief medical time-out and eventually won the third set. Stephens eventually prevailed with a 3-6 6-3 6-4 victory.
Taking to social media, Sloane Stephens said the experience wasn't a pleasant one.
"I got stung by a bee at 4-4 in the 3rd set during my match today and it was not a pleasant experience. 0/10 - Do not recommend," she tweeted.
The 2017 US Open champion would go on to lose to Danka Kovinic in a tight three-set match in the round of 16, as she struggles to regain her form in an underwhelming 2022 season.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
