Tennis Health Scares: Players Struggle at Australian Open

The Australian Open is known for its heat, but this year, it's not just the weather causing problems. Specifically, two top players, Ons Jabeur and Emma Raducanu, faced unexpected health issues right in the middle of their matches. Ons Jabeur, typically calm and composed, suddenly needed medical attention during her second match against Camila Osorio. She started strong, leading 2-1 in the first set, but soon began coughing and touching her chest. Medical experts rushed to help her, and Jabeur eventually won the match. This isn't her first health scare; she had to leave the US Open last year due to a shoulder injury. Emma Raducanu also faced trouble. In her second-round match against Amanda Anisimova, she struggled with double faults in the second set and had to take a medical timeout to address her left hip. Both players managed to win their matches, but as the tournament progresses, more players could face similar challenges due to fatigue and warm weather.
