A Number Of Players Battled Illness At The US Open

At the end of the summer, the coronavirus epidemic in the Northeast and West showed signs of heating up, and the U.S. Open, which is currently underway in New York, also reported that a number of players were sick and even forced to withdraw, but whether it was related to the novel coronavirus pneumonia is unknown.

According to reports, the fifth seed of the US Open, Ons Jabeur of Tunisia, because of illness, barely won the first round, but in the second round, again in trouble, coughing on the court, and the unseeded Czech player Linda Noskova (Linda Noskova) after three sets, finally won the second game. "I took a lot of pills," Garber said. "I took basically everything the doctor gave me at the US Open."

Several players at the U.S. Open were sick, including Austria's Dominic Thiem, who was forced to retire midway through the second set of his second-round match because of an upset stomach. Finland's Emil Ruusuvuori also withdrew from the first round due to illness. Tennys Sandgren, who failed to advance from the preliminary round, posted on social media platform X(formerly Twitter) : "I won the US Open." He then posted: 'I feel like I'm still in a race but I'm actually at home.'

Not only players, but also ESPN football critic John McEnroe (John McEnroe) also did the new Crown fast screening because of physical discomfort, and the results were positive.

Because the players often have close contact and share equipment during the competition, once a player is sick, it is easy to infect. After the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020, the organizers of the US Open developed strict epidemic prevention measures, prohibiting spectators from entering the match, and requiring players to wear masks even if the court was empty.

The next year, in 2021, the U.S. Open will reopen for fans who must show proof of vaccination. As for this year's US Open, it is no longer necessary to show proof of vaccination or provide proof of negative tests or wear masks, so the exact cause of the player's illness is unknown.

At the press conference, Gabo stressed that her stomach is fine, but she also knows that some players are struggling with stomach problems. It is not clear whether Gabo has tested for COVID-19, but she said: "I think I have the flu, because of the flu, I am not feeling well."
