(VIDEO) Zeynep Sonmez forced to retire from doubles match after tripping over advertisement board and falling into wall

A doubles match had to be abruptly halted after just two games after Zeynep Sonmez tripped over the advertising board at the back of the court before falling into the wall at Roland Garros.

She had partnered German veteran Tatjana Maria with Ukrainian duo Anhelina Kalinina and Dayana Yastremska the other side of the court, all looking concerned after the incident occurred which would end Sonmez's French Open.

After finding themselves 2-0 down after a slow start, a deep shot caught the attention of Sonmez who took ownership of it. It was an awkward one to deal with as the Turk bailed out of it as the wall came closer.

She would then trip over the advertising board placed precariously on the ground before slamming straight into the wall in a very concerning moment for everyone on court.

Sonmez seemed in pain as Maria was quick to comfort her as Kalinina and Yastremska also came to the other side of the court to overview the situation. Sonmez could not continue after injuring her ankle, giving the Ukraine duo a pass to the next round, but not in the way that they would have wanted.

This is not the first time something similar has happened in this tournament. Alexander Blockx had been supposed to compete against Alex de Minaur in the second round of Roland Garros before he tripped over the covers at the back of the court.

He went on to describe the scenario with a very angry and frustrated Instagram post. “Unfortunately during today’s practice i heard a snap in my ankle while i sprained it, which is why i had to withdraw from tomorrow’s match that i was really looking forward to. A lot of frustration but we move on,” he wrote after withdrawing.

There have been questions on why the covers were there in the first place with many fans and pundits asking for a safer place for them to be put. Sonmez's incident will back up those claims with another injury being occurred from this placement.
