Victoria Azarenka: US Open Player Collapses
Victoria Azarenka: US Open Player Collapses
The US Open has been providing fans with multiple matches for three days now. Some great shots have been documented and some players that were expected to do well are stepping up to the challenge. However, tennis is a strenuous sport and requires a great deal of endurance. Earlier today, Victoria Azarenka collapsed after about 31 minutes into her second round match.
Thus far no official statement has been released regarding her health, however, she was treated on the court with ice packs and then taken out in a wheel chair. Obviously she was forced to retire from the match, leaving the score 5-1 ret. Victoria Azarenka is a 21 year old on the verge of making a huge name for herself on the hard courts.
The players are all under the stress of a extreme heat policy that is in effect for the second day of the tournament. That particular policy allows women to take a break after 2 sets and the men to take medical timeouts as needed. Azarenka was seeded tenth going into the US Open and she may have been considered a dark horse to win it all, she has definitely starting to turn heads on the pro-circuit.
