Tokyo Olympics: Another player leaves the court in a wheelchair - heatstroke

Paula Badosa, a Spanish player, had a difficult time with heatstroke. After quitting from her quarterfinal match against Marketa Vondrousova due to heatstroke, Badosa had to retire from a mixed doubles play with partner Pablo Carreno Busta later in the day.

The first set was won 6-3 by Vondrousova, the Czech woman who had eliminated Naomi Osaka the day before.
She is now in the semifinals and will play fourth-seeded Elina Svitolina of Ukraine in the medal rounds.
In the other semifinal, Switzerland's Belinda Bencic will face Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina, who is ranked 15th.


At the Tokyo Olympics on Wednesday, a Russian tennis player declared he could "dead" from the oppressive heat and humidity, while a Spanish player had to be wheeled off the court due to heatstroke.
As the temperature reached 88 degrees, players battled, but the heat index made it feel like it was a scorching 99 degrees.


Daniil Medvedev, who had two medical timeouts and one trainer visit, was having such a hard time at the Ariake Tennis Park on Wednesday that the chair umpire, Carlos Ramos, asked him whether he could keep playing.
Medvedev, the world's number two men's player, responded, "I can finish the match but I can die."
"Will you be held accountable if I die?"

Somehow, the second-seeded Medvedev still pulled out a 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 win over Fabio Fognini of Italy to reach the quarterfinals at the Tokyo Olympics.
