Of course, the word “vaccine” was never mentioned in any of the mainstream media reports following the unprecedented level of players withdrawing or retiring during the Miami Open.
Tennis fans are upset and the sporting world is reeling after an unprecedented number of players either withdrew or retired from the Miami Open this week. A total of 15 players were unable to finish, including the male and female favorites to win.
According to Free West Media:
The tennis world reacted with shock after favorites Paula Badosa and Jannik Sinner had to retire during the quarterfinals of the Miami Open. Badosa, soon to be the number three in the world, became unwell during her match against Jessica Pegula and left the court in tears.
Badosa, who was comforted by her American opponent, decided to stop after consultation with her physiotherapist. Pegula reached the semifinals of the Miami tennis tournament for the first time in her career after Badosa’s resignation, reported Yahoo Sports.
I watched that tournament, and yes, there were multiple withdrawals due to injuries. One specific one was body parts locking up, necks in particular. The WTA Charleston open is airing now and I saw one player who lost with neck issues, and one with their leg locking up who retired during the match. Another player who is defending her title also retired but no explanation was given.
Just the beginning
