Lesia
Tsurenko retired from the match against Iga Swiatek due to dizziness at the
2023 French Open.
Iga Swiatek
achieved her objective in another day at Roland Garros. The Polish player
started with a strong performance, breaking Lesia Tsurenko's serve three times,
although she also got broken once, resulting in a score of 5-1 in the first
set.
The
Ukrainian player withdrew from the match after experiencing a feeling of
dizziness, which prompted a pause in the game. Tsurenko received medical
attention when the score was 4-1 in favor of Swiatek, and although she
attempted to continue, she still didn't feel well.
After
losing another service game, Tsurenko approached the net and made the
definitive decision to retire from the tournament in the fourth round. The
world No. 1 advanced once again in a short amount of playing time, with only 29
minutes on the court.
In the
quarterfinals, there will be a rematch of the 2022 final as Swiatek faces young
Coco Gauff, who defeated Anna Karolina Schmiedlova in this round on Court
Philippe Chatrier.

mandoist04-09-2026 - Double Standards for the male players? Gross. BTW: This "apology" reads like the one his lawyers wrote for him when he had to go to the Kangaroo Court for slapping his girlfriend around.mandoist04-09-2026

- Sabalenka seems so unhappy. When you get angry after every mistake you make on court, you’ve got some issues sweetie! She also does seem to be “partying” a lot if you follow her social media (I don’t lolol). Very immature personality.DaveyWavey03-09-2026
- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026
