American tennis players Danielle Collins and Desirae Krawczyk faced a disappointing end to their doubles run at the Olympics, losing in the second round to the Ukrainian duo of Lyudmyla and Nadiia Kichenok with a score of 3-6, 6-4, [10]-[7].
Collins, who surprisingly continued to compete in the doubles match despite retiring from her singles match earlier in the day, cited challenging conditions as the reason for her withdrawal. The 30-year-old, who is set to retire at the end of the season, expressed frustration over the lack of adequate hydration during her singles match against Iga Swiatek, which led to overheating and a heat stroke.
