Playing over at the Sant-Melo Open in France this week,
Maryna Zanevska was overcome with panic and stress and began to cry on the court after hearing a siren sound.
Zanevska represents Belgium but is Ukrainian born and after winning the first set went on to lose the match 6-2, 4-6, 5-7.
She later took to social media to reveal her experience and spoke about how her heartbeat suddenly rose and it triggered her badly.
“I had very weird feeling today during my match after winning first set. I have no idea why but the siren was on! For maybe 20 seconds but felt like forever!”, she said in her post.
”I have never been in Ukraine since 24th of February. I never experienced siren. But it was such a trigger point sound. My heartbeat was 200! I was overwhelmed. Usually when I step on court, it’s my place where I forget about my problems. But here it hit me badly!”
